He said: “I am delighted with this set of GCSE results and it shows how much hard work the students put in this year and how well they were supported at home by their parents and at school by all the staff at Banovallum.

“The current Year 11 have faced disruption over the last two years of their time at Banovallum and have missed out on so much of what contributes to their all-round education.

“Nevertheless, they have continued to work hard both at home and in school, building on the best Mock performances for years to produce a strong set of GCSE results.

“I would like to pay particular tribute to the parents for their unstinting support of their children and the school.

“It has not been easy to maintain motivation during lockdown and also the uncertainty over the exact nature of how the GCSE results were to be calculated did not help students or teachers.

“The fact that the GCSE results are so strong is a testament to the home-school partnership at Banovallum.
