She said: "What a fantastic year group with great results that will support them take their next steps in life. These young people have kept their focus, their sense of perspective and their belief that it would all work out in the end.
"I am proud of them all and they should be thrilled with their achievements. If they can navigate a pandemic then they can conquer the world. I’m excited to hear about their future successes and to see them flourish further in their colleges, schools and work places.
“It’s also been great to see our family of schools grow in strength too here in Weston and we are excited to see more of our students take up places at our post-16 provision in Winterstoke Hundred Academy - securing successful post-16 provision for all our young people is very much our focus now. Today, however, is all about celebrating Year 11s - brilliant young people.”
