On GCSE results day, Headteacher of Christ the King College, Mr McDermott, said,
“I am very proud of our Year 11 GCSE students at Christ the King. During this time of school closure, they have demonstrated resilience, independence, creativity and positivity. The disruption to their education because of COVID has been well documented and throughout they demonstrated tremendous positivity, this is credit to each and every one of them. I have always believed that GCSE results are important because a strong set of results provide the key to open many doors in the future.
“The results show that the College is on a journey of continuous improvement.
“I would like to thank in particular senior staff in the school and our exams officer, who have responded to the changes in arrangements with professionalism and thoughtfulness.
“These examination results represent years of hard work and dedication from our students, their teachers and tremendous support from parents and carers. This year an extraordinary effort was required to complete the assessments through the months of April and May.
“We look forward to welcoming most of our students back in September to continue their studies with us. Christ the King is a community where there are no barriers to students fulfilling their potential.”
