Today she is celebrating 11 GCSE passes with two grade 9s, three grade 8s and nothing below a grade 6!  Other top achievers include Alicia who also got 11 passes, with five grade 9s and four grade 8s, and Violeta with three grade 9s and four grade 8s among her 11 passes.  We are so proud of all our students and we look forward to them continuing to excel in sixth form next year!
