Headmaster Justin Stanley commented: “In the face of enormous challenges, months of lockdown learning and real disruption to their academic and social lives, our Year 11 cohort have delivered an excellent set of GCSE results. “There are some real standout performances amongst these results; especially notable are the 9 pupils who gained 10 grade 9 GCSEs. But I am incredibly proud of what each and every one of these pupils has achieved.
“I want to thank staff and pupils alike for the speed and efficiency with which they adapted to, and embraced, remote learning. The success in delivering learning online at Hymers is truly reflected in these results and I applaud our teachers and students for this.”
