You have worked incredibly hard and achieved fantastic results. Indeed, these examination results represent significant increases in the number of students attaining the top grades. They are testament to the hard work and support of students and staff.
"During your time at the school, you have fully embraced the wide ranging opportunities both in and out of the classroom developing a wide range of skills along the way and exhibiting our school values of care, courtesy and cooperation with respect at the heart of all you do. Thank you for your contributions to our school.
"Well done! From all at Girls’ High, we wish you the very best for the next steps."
Director of Maths, Mr Brocklehurst, was delighted with the results: "The Maths department has seen an increase in both A*/A now at 54 per cent and A*-B now at 75 per cent. With a growing Maths cohort in the school these grades reflect the hard work and efforts of students and teachers. Our grades are significantly above the national averages and go against the flatline in performance nationally for maths. We are all immensely proud of what our students have achieved."
Our students are now deservedly going to enjoy the rest of their summer break before embarking on their next steps be it University, Degree Apprenticeships or taking a gap year, we wish them all the very best for their future.
