"This is in terms of both qualifications and also becoming good people who contribute to the communities around them.
"Their results today and the manner in which they have conducted themselves amidst the uncertainty of the last two years are evidence that they have achieved this goal.
"We wish each and everyone of them good luck and best wishes wherever they are going next.
"For many this will be a return to our Sixth Form but others will be taking up apprenticeships or a college place.
