The VI Form Academy Vice Principal Oliver Kirkbride said: "These are fantastic results, especially considering this is the first set of public examinations these students have completed as their GCSEs were awarded through teacher assessment due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

"Our students have demonstrated their ability to adapt, learn and excel even in the most uncertain times and we look forward to witnessing their continued growth and success in the future."
