Jonathan Harris, principal of Sir Herbert Leon Academy said:“I am delighted for our Year 11 students – they have worked so hard, both this year and last year, despite all of the challenges and disruption that Covid brought. They deserve these grades and I am incredibly proud of what each and every one of them has achieved.

"These confident grades reflect the positive changes that have taken place at the academy and the hard work and dedication of students and staff. Whether our students are going onto study A Levels, vocational qualifications, or going into employment or training, they have a bright future ahead.”

Instead of end of year exams, the Government decided that students’ results would be determined by teachers this year. Each school has considered what a fair grade is for each student, based on what they have been able to learn and achieve during the last two years.

These grades were submitted to the exam boards together with supporting evidence, and then quality assured by the exam boards.
