Assistant Headteacher, Mr Dom Bird, said:

“Congratulations to all our students on their A Level results. They have been a wonderful year group to work with and have made a tremendous contribution to the life of the school, both inside and outside the classroom.

These results reflect years of hard work, perseverance and commitment. Our students have embraced the many opportunities available to them at HGS and should be proud of the progress they have made, the relationships they have built and the contributions they have made to our school community.

Results day can bring a range of emotions, and we recognise that students will be following different pathways as they move on to the next stage of their lives. We remain committed to supporting every student as they continue their journey, whether that is through university, apprenticeships, employment or other opportunities.

I am confident that they leave us well prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead and that they will continue to make a positive contribution to the communities and organisations they become part of. We look forward to hearing about their future successes and hope that many will return to HGS in years to come to inspire and support future generations of students.

I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to our dedicated staff for their unwavering commitment to providing an outstanding and enriching educational experience, and to our parents and carers for the invaluable support they have given both their children and the school throughout their journey.”

We congratulate all of our students on their efforts and achievements and wish them every success and happiness in the next stage of their journey.
