Cathryn McKeagney, headteacher, expressed her pride in the students: “I couldn’t be prouder of this cohort, who have shown incredible resilience and a clear understanding of the challenges that A-Levels present. Their success is a testament to their hard work and the dedicated support from our staff. We are also deeply grateful to Father Paul from St Werburgh’s parish for his invaluable support with our Medics and Oxbridge candidates.”
These successful students will now join the school’s highly regarded Alumni group, which boasts over 1,500 members spanning 50 years of the school’s history.
