Exams Support & Information
Many of our students have this week received results in accredited courses at A Level, GCSE, BTEC and Entry Level. For them all, the last two years on these courses have coincided with very challenging circumstances and extended periods of remote learning. This makes their achievements all the more impressive and we are delighted with the results which they have received from the awarding bodies. Their grades are the result of their hard work, determination and commitment to their studies during the most difficult of times; we are extremely proud of them all and we hope that they are pleased with their achievements. We send them all our warmest congratulations and also reiterate our thanks to parents for your continued support over the last two years. It is always special to share these moments with those students who came in to school to collect their results, and for all others their results will be posted home today.
Should any student be unhappy with their result and feel that they have grounds for an appeal, please follow the guidance below. We would ask you first to contact the school in September if you feel you wish to pursue this course of action, and we can discuss the process with you.
The government appeals guidance and questions answered can be found at the following links:
