Headteacher, Jim Toal said: "In a constantly changing national climate for GCSEs we are very pleased that a quarter of our students achieved five or more grades at A* and A, and that more than 75 per cent achieved five GCSE grades or equivalent at grades A* - C.
"Our congratulations go out to all of our students, and we wish them the very best moving on to their next stage of education, training or employment."
