I would like to congratulate Lord Williams’s School Year 11 students on their superb results at GCSE, BTEC and Cambridge National Qualifications. The students showed great resilience in rising to the challenge of a very different school year and have performed superbly, earning excellent results across the board. Through this year, they have impressed the staff over and over again and have been able to develop much greater ICT and independent learning skills than we would usually expect of Year 11s.
The support of parents and carers has been absolutely crucial as students dealt with remote learning, the continual worry about potential isolation and a challenging period of rigorous assessment in school.
School staff have risen to the challenge of taking on many of the functions of the exam boards this year and have worked incredibly hard to ensure that students have had the opportunity to achieve the grades they deserve.
52 students achieved seven or more GCSE grades at Grade 7 or above. The majority of students are planning to return to begin Sixth Form study in September, and we wish them, and those that are leaving, for college or an apprenticeship, all the very best for their future success and happiness.
