STUDENTS of a Woodley school have been praised for “an impressive achievement” according to its headteacher.
Grades at Bulmershe School placed it within the top 25% of schools across the country, with a number of subjects offering results in this band.
These include Art, Technology 3D Design, Technology 3D Graphics, Business Studies, Computer Science, Drama, English Language, Geography, Italian, Portuguese, Religious Studies, Russian and Statistics.
Amanda Woodfin said her pupils had shown resilience as they had coped with the disruption to their learning due to covid.
“Your results are outstanding. You are all exceptional, inspiring and talented young people, and we couldn’t be prouder of you,” she said to them.
“Enjoy the moment, savour your success. There are few times in life when you’ll put as much work into a single accomplishment as you have done for these results.
