She commented: "I am delighted to be able to congratulate of all of our incredible students receiving their examination results today.

"Once again we have seen a fantastic attitude from a really incredible cohort and as such we are able to celebrate hard earned results with them.

"In particular I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all staff, parents and carers for their exceptional support and guidance which has helped to shape this year group who will again leave a legacy of hard work, determination and kindness."
