Principal Rebecca Iles-Smith said:  “Well done to each and every one of our girls on their fantastic GCSE results.

“They have excelled across a breadth of subjects and should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved – these results are truly well-deserved.”

She added that she was ‘particularly proud’ that the school had bucked a national trend of languages decline, with all students taking a foreign language, and also added special praise for a strong showing in the school’s sciences subjects.
