Mia Lowney, Headteacher at St Andrew’s CE High School, said: “I am immensely proud to celebrate with our Year 11 students today. On average, our students sit 10 GCSEs, which is additional GCSE than the majority of other schools, and many of our most able students take 12 GCSEs. Achieving such excellent results whilst maintaining the broadest education and range of opportunities possible for our students is truly excellent.

"This year group has faced much adversity in their time at St Andrew’s, which the students have faced with a relentlessly positive approach, working incredibly hard to achieve their goals. It is fantastic to see this reflected in their results.

"We would like to say a heart-felt thank you to not only our students, but our fantastic school community who have made all this possible, including our parents and families, teachers and support staff.”
