Mr Bird noted that the school has seen “significantly improved” progress overall, and said the school’s headline figures have improved markedly.

Many of the students will carry on at Onslow St Audrey’s Sixth Form as well as the Football Academy.

Mr Bird remarked on how teachers had worked tirelessly to support the pupils and said: “There have been a number of genuinely outstanding results this year.”
