16 students gained 10 or more passes each at grades 9-7. Mr Townsend estimates that student progress overall for Denbigh will this year as in previous years remain a very significant strength of the school, despite any changes nationally.
Headteacher Colin Townsend, and acting headteacher Donna Neely-Hayes were “absolutely delighted” to join the many excited students who attended to collect their GCSE results today.
Mr Townsend said: “At a time where it is recognised that the current and changed GCSEs are more challenging, students and families should be rightly proud that their hard work and determination has paid off so handsomely for most.”
