Following the cancellation of examinations this year, students received results based on Teacher Assessed Grades. These were awarded following internal Summer Assessments and moderated in line with the Oqual guidelines.

We were delighted with the progress our students had made and how they had shown great resilience in the face of adversity. 

We were immensely proud of our students and how they coped with the impact of the pandemic.

Following the cancellation of examinations for this academic year, students received either Centre Assessed Grades or the Ofqual algorithm (whichever was higher).
