They have worked incredibly hard throughout their time with us, and it’s brilliant to be celebrating with them today. This is a group of students who faced huge challenges through the years of disruption from COVID and we know that success comes in many forms. No student is defined by their GCSE results but we are proud of their efforts and wish them well.

“I would like to thank all our students, their families, our staff and the wider school community for their ongoing support. We look forward to seeing our students progress on to the next stage of their education and fulfil their goals.”

Neil Strowger, Trust Leader at Bohunt Education Trust, said: “I am immensely proud of our 2023 cohort’s efforts and achievements. These students have remained positive despite significant disruption to their studies during their years at secondary school. Their resilience, determination and hard work has resulted in so many securing the results they aspired to, allowing them to pursue their desired next steps and I wish them all the very best for their future.”
