The Charles Dickens School is celebrating the achievements of it Year 11 students as they collect their GCSE results today (August 24).
Headteacher Warren Smith said: “We are extremely proud of our pupils and their results reflect their hard work and resilience throughout their five years with us.
“It should be acknowledged that a large proportion of their secondary education was still disrupted by COVID, and it has been widely reported that this year the exam boards have been much less generous in their recognition of this.
“To achieve the results they have achieved, in this context, is a wonderful reflection of their ability and determination. We send them all our very best wishes for their next steps.”
