Almost four in five grades awarded so far are at Grades 9 to 7, an exceptional achievement. Yet the figures tell only part of the story. Behind each result is a young person who has worked hard, supported by dedicated teachers and families. Our pupils have shown resilience, curiosity and character, and we look forward to seeing them take their next steps with confidence.”
