Director of Sixth Form, Nick Coates added “These are some of the best results I can remember and I am so proud of everything the students have achieved.
“Not only have they achieved excellent academic results, but they have led the whole school recovery in terms of extracurricular activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, Eisteddfod, the school play, sport, and our Sixth Form teaching assistant programme.
“Our students leave us with more then just their academic qualifications and I wish them all the best for the future.”
