Radclyffe Headteacher John Cregg said: “I am incredibly proud of our students, who have demonstrated outstanding resilience and application in order to achieve these excellent results.

"This cohort has had to face unprecedented disruptions to their education in the last three years and have had to earn their qualifications through sitting external examinations – the first group of students since before the pandemic to do so.

"The vast majority have achieved exactly what they need in order to begin their chosen post-16 courses and I wish them all the very best for the future.

“I would also like to thank our amazing staff who have guided these young people incredibly well throughout the last five years and have once again demonstrated the fabulous standards of education, care and support we provide here at The Radclyffe School.”

Sue Webb, Chair of Governors, added: “On behalf of the Governors I would congratulate all our students on their results, achieved in the toughest of circumstances.

"Our students should all be very proud of themselves.”
