Principal Liam Collins said:
"If ever there was a cohort of Year 11s who deserved congratulations on their GCSE and BTEC results, it is undoubtedly the class of 2022 who received their grades today. No group of students in postwar Britain has suffered a more disrupted education than they have. The Covid pandemic left ineradicable marks on their schooling. It disrupted their teaching and disturbed their study and their exams. It also had an often-traumatic impact on their home lives, those of their families and friends, and their development into young adults. We are so proud of their hard work and resilience. They should wear their achievement as a generational badge of honour."
