We would like to say thank you and well done to all of our students who have received their results today. They are a fantastic group of young people who have set the standard for future year groups to come. Their resolve over the past two years to remain focused and committed to their education, when schooling has been disrupted during the coronavirus pandemic has been inspiring.

Students have worked alongside their teachers and adults in doing what it takes and going the extra mile in ensuring that the impact of the adaptations made to this year’s exams is minimal and that they were best placed to succeed this summer.

Whole school performance continues to improve at The Grange, and although we remain unable to compare year on year results due to continued adaptations in grading standards, we are delighted with both the progress and achievement of our students, who we are sure will access their choice of post 16 education, training, or employment.

Headteacher, Vince Murray, said “The attitude, resolve and commitment to their education during an extremely challenging time for this group of young people has been a privilege to observe and be part of. They have been exceptional and positive in their outlook. I am incredibly proud of the part our school has played in supporting their development at this time.

We are extremely confident that the curriculum offered at The Grange will enable our students to access post 16 education and training that meets their needs and aspiration for the future and look forward to seeing many come back for our 6th Form in September. For those moving on, we wish them every success for the future, and they leave knowing that our school played a part in securing their next steps.
