'Remarkable results'

Andy Christoforou, headteacher at Abbey College, said: "We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and perseverance leading up to their outstanding results today.

"While the exams were sat under more usual conditions, we must not forget the significant disruption these students have faced during their secondary education.

"After completing Year 7, the pandemic forced most students to complete their learning away from schools as the country battled the challenges of COVID-19.
