“These are extremely pleasing results for our students, especially given all they have been through in recent years. The resumption to full examinations was challenging but the entire St Mary’s community is delighted that our pupils’ hard work and determination has been rewarded. Education begins at home, and it is only right that we extend our appreciation to our parents who have been unwavering in their support for the students and the school. It has been a pleasure for school staff to witness first-hand the determination and resilience exhibited by this exceptional cohort and I have no doubt that our A Level pupils, who have made valuable contributions to the life of the school community, will secure further success in their next endeavor whether that be at university, further education college, apprenticeship or employment.”
