It was terrific to see last year's Upper Sixth pupils back in School today to collect their A Level, Pre-U and EPQ results. They've faced such a difficult pathway through their qualifications and their outstanding outcomes could not be more fully deserved. Warmest congratulations

Warmest congratulations to our GCSE candidates who today collected their results and who can be immensely proud of their superb achievements in an exceptionally challenging year. We wish them every success as they move on to the next step of their education.

This morning, we had some superb safeguarding training for our newly-returned staff by our exceptional Deputy (pastoral), J-D Price, @IPSpastoral. Thank you.
