“As always, I am very proud of the collective hard work invested by our community of students, teachers, support staff, governors and trustees. I would also like to thank our families for their ongoing encouragement and understanding, not only during the revision and examination period, but throughout the entire time they have been connected to Plantsbrook School. Their input has been invaluable.
“It is also important to be reminded of all the additional achievements that students in this year group have accomplished.
“Many have participated in a range of extra-curricular activities and school events during their school career including music concerts, sports clubs, drama performances and student leadership.
“Their commitment to and participation in our school community in addition to their studies has made many of them excellent role models. We hope they are successful in their future endeavours whatever they may be.”
