Executive Headteacher, Russell Taylor, said:
“I am thrilled that our students have achieved the outstanding results that their hard work so richly deserves. More Robert Clack students than ever have secured places at the country’s top universities or degree apprenticeships at leading multinational companies. I am exceptionally grateful to our committed and hardworking colleagues, who have provided magnificent support to our students throughout their time at Robert Clack.
Unlike in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, where the devolved governments have retained lower grade boundaries due to the impact of Covid, the examinations system in England has returned to pre-pandemic standards. Therefore, I am delighted that our results are in line with those achieved last year (when grade boundaries were lower) and higher than those achieved in 2019.
As our students embark on the next chapter of their lives, I wish them all the very best of luck – they deserve all the success that I know they will achieve.”
