Among our high achievers is Ishaq, who scored an amazing ten grade 9s, acing every subject! 🎉
He said: “I feel chuffed, to be honest. I didn’t expect to do so well. The school helped so much – they drill everything into you early on so it’s hard to forget.”

Sia achieved all 7s and 8s bar one. “I feel amazing. I’m so happy. I wasn’t expecting grades this high, particularly in subjects I struggled with. But I worked hard and did what I needed to do. The morning lectures and after-school interventions really helped.”
