Headteacher John Cregg said: “I am incredibly proud of our students, who have demonstrated outstanding resilience and application in order to achieve these excellent results.
“Although the pandemic may seem a distant memory for many, these young people are still feeling the impact of having their secondary education severely disrupted by Covid-19 and have faced the added challenge of a return to the pre-pandemic, tougher standards of qualifications and grade boundaries.
“Almost all of our learners have achieved exactly what they need in order to begin their chosen post-16 courses and I wish them all the very best for the future.
“I would also like to thank our amazing staff who have guided these young people incredibly well throughout the last five years and have once again demonstrated the fabulous standards of education, care and support we provide here at The Radclyffe School, shown by our most recent ‘Good’ Ofsted judgement.”
Alongside the exceptional individual successes, many students expressed joy and relief at their outcomes.

Nahim described himself as “ecstatic” and is now exploring a new path at college as a result of his grades.

Others offered advice to younger pupils, with Fabiya encouraging incoming Year 7 students to “stick at it” when exams come around, while Ayesha added that “leaving everything to the last minute doesn’t work, try and do a bit at a time.”
Sue Webb, Chair of Governors said: “On behalf of the Governors, I would like to congratulate all our Year 11 students on their results this year.
“Our students and the staff who have taught and supported them so wonderfully over the last five years should all be very proud of themselves.”
