Sara Russell, Principal, said: “I am incredibly proud of our students who have achieved such strong results this year, setting them up for the exciting next steps in their lives. In autumn, OFSTED recognised us as Outstanding, praising the culture we have built - one that fosters resilience, confidence, and character, and drives exceptional outcomes. The students moving on today, do so well-prepared to make a real and lasting contribution in whatever paths they choose.

“This year has also marked a celebration of our commitment to the arts. In June, we opened a new music centre with professional-standard facilities. This investment that reflects not only our passion for creative education but also the vital role the arts play in the wider economy.

“What makes me especially proud is the success of our students on creative courses such as art, media, music, and performance. These results give them a strong foundation for future success in creative industries.

"These outstanding results are a testament to the hard work and diligence of our students as well as the expertise, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our staff, whose passion for teaching and tireless support for every student have fostered a culture of academic excellence and have inspired success."
