Melissa George, Headteacher at St Gregory’s, congratulated students on their achievements and reflected on the breadth of skills they have developed during their studies.
“These results are a testament to the hard work and resilience shown by our students throughout their time with us. As well as achieving academic success, they’ve built the confidence and skills needed to excel in their chosen paths and make their mark on the world.
