Simon Jackson, Headteacher, said:

“I am hugely proud of all our students. They have achieved exceptionally good results. Many students have achieved top grades and others have achieved terrific success in the face of personal challenges.

The GCSE grades awarded today reflect the hard work and dedication of our students. They have supported each other through some challenging times during the pandemic and, despite everything, they have remained positive. They have been a pleasure to have as part of our Keswick School community.

I would also like to pay tribute to our exceptional teaching and support staff. They are an incredibly committed group of staff who always go the extra mile to support our young people. It is through their care and encouragement that students at Keswick School become confident and articulate young people. Our staff are incredibly passionate about their own specialist subjects and it is no surprise that they pass on this enthusiasm to their students.

The vast majority of Year 11 will be returning to our Sixth Form in September and we look forward to seeing them start the next stage of their academic journey as well as wishing the very best to those who are moving on to start an apprenticeship or attend College.”

Rev Charles Hope, Chair of Governors, said:
‘Results day is always a special day for students, parents and staff. The excitement of receiving the results and sharing news is palpable. The results of our Keswick School Year 11 pupils are a wonderful achievement for all our students who have overcome so much adversity with COVID and its consequences. The results also reflect the dedication and commitment of our teaching and support staff and their great efforts on behalf of the students. The support of parents and carers too is invaluable to their children’s success. Congratulations all round! We look forward to welcoming so many of these Year 11s into Sixth Form!’
