Students at local education charity Red Balloon are celebrating after receiving what the trust says is another fantastic set of GCSE results.
Of its children who took GCSE English Language, all received grades 4 to 9 (the old grades C to A*), and 83% achieved the same in Maths.
They gained a whole host of other qualifications alongside.
Red Balloon is a network of small academic and therapeutic Centres supporting children who are absent from school because of bullying or some other trauma in their lives.
Red Balloon focuses on wellbeing, education, and social re-engagement to help students gain the skills and confidence they need to reintegrate with their peers.
Many of the young people at Red Balloon have worked to overcome immense challenges such as post-traumatic stress disorder, severe anxiety, loss of confidence and agoraphobia, which have often left them unable to attend school for months or even years.
A spokesperson said: “Overcoming those obstacles is what makes these exam results so incredible.”
