A Bermondsey catholic school’s GCSE marks have beaten the national average, despite “challenging circumstances.”
A spokesperson from St Michael’s Catholic College said: “Their hard work, resilience and determination has paid off with a set of results that are above national and London averages on all measures.”
This is despite the return to more stringent grading by exam boards.
The vast majority of students will be staying on to complete A-level and CTEC courses at St Michael’s sixth form.
The Principal Ms Corcoran said: “I am incredibly proud of each and every Year 11 student, it has been wonderful to celebrate their achievements and to recognise how far they have come, especially those who have had to navigate their way through challenging circumstances.
“We wish all Year 11 students well with their next steps and we know they have a very bright future ahead.”
