All smiles with some incredible GCSE results at Sir Thomas Boteler

IT was smiles all around with some incredible results for students at Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School on GCSE results day.

Some of the school’s top performers in terms of Attainment were; Sasha Kempster who achieved 10 Grade 9’s; Jonah Holland, Scott Currall, Sophie Mawer, Zachary White, Bailey McDermott, Dylan Roberts, and Kayleigh James who all received a suite of 7-9 grades.

Headteacher Mrs Scott-Herron said “We are exceptionally proud of all our Year 11 students. Our students have achieved some incredible results and despite all the challenges of the past two years, they have emerged with resilience, dignity and with the knowledge and understanding that they have the toolkit to face any obstacle that comes their way. Our students should be so proud of what they have achieved.
“Our results have improved and that is what we would have expected as we are an improving school, which is going from strength to strength. Everything that we have put into place over the past few years in terms of improvements in teaching and learning is evident in what the young people are now achieving. The dedication and commitment shown by our Year 11 throughout this year has been truly inspirational and they really deserve this success.
“Our young people are an absolute credit to our Boteler Family and they know that they will continue to be supported by us. We know and understand that the past two years have not been ‘normal’ but we must not lose sight of what they have achieved both academically and personally as young adults. Their hard work and results are testimony to their dedication and commitment and they never gave up. These amazing young people have been with us for five years and have overcome many barriers and challenges along the way to achieve these amazing results, and this is something they should be very proud of.
“Our High Expectations, High Aspirations and High Standards are stronger than ever and something which we have all drawn on to ensure we had clarity over our vision and values, and making sure that our young people came first no matter what. Our Faith and belief in our young people and school community is stronger than ever and ‘Through God, We Care’ about all our students. We never under estimate our role and take it very seriously, as we are instrumental in the life chances of our young people.
“The Class of 2021 will now be able to progress on to the next chapter knowing that though their hard work they have succeeded and we are very proud of each and every one of them.”
