GCSE results: Oakwood students 'demonstrated a sense of resilience and character that has made us all feel very proud'

Simon Potten, headteacher at the Balcombe Road school in Horley, said: “At Oakwood School we are delighted with the achievements of our Year 11 students.

“They have been faced with the challenge of a full return to external assessment and all of the uncertainty that went with that this year. I am delighted by the manner in which they tackled this challenge and their hard work that has resulted in the hugely positive grades that they have been awarded today, which show an improvement in all headlines on 2019, the last external exams sat prior to the pandemic.
