Headmaster Dr Mike Walker said ‘I am delighted at the achievements of our students, both at A Level and IB; they thoroughly deserve such success. This is a tribute to their hard work and enthusiasm and the dedication of our staff. These students have also shown excellent qualities of leadership and genuine service to the community during their time here. The school creates superb ‘added value’ for students through an exciting range of activities and challenges, which means they really are confident young citizens of the future. I know that this year-group will go on to do equally well in the next phase of their education because of the grounding they receive here, and will also make a strong contribution to leading and serving any community in which they live. They are well-rounded, confident, multi-talented young people with strong values. We are very proud of them!’
