Students at West Hatch High School, Chigwell, were celebrating their GCSE examination results today with the vast majority enrolling into the school’s Sixth Form.
Headteacher Daniel Leonard said: "Results days are always a stressful enough time for our students but having had to deal with the disruption to their lives and their studies over the last two years our students are finally able to celebrate their hard work and plan for their next two years of study."
He added: "This year’s students have worked so hard under such challenging circumstances and within an ever-changing landscape.
"They should be very proud of what they have achieved. We all certainly are.
"The results our students have achieved this year are the culmination of their diligence and dedication.
"We look forward to seeing so many of them return to our school in September ready to start the next stage in their lives."
As a result of the processes by which students have been awarded grades this year the school is not releasing overall school figures.
Congratulations to the following students who have really excelled this year.
Mr Leonard said: "We are exceptionally proud of all of our students and are delighted to be able to share such outstanding achievements with our community.
"I hope our Year 11s can now relax for the summer and prepare themselves for the road ahead.
"I’m sure I speak for all of our students in thanking the staff who have helped them to achieve such fantastic results.”
