Henry will instead begin an apprenticeship with Transport for London.

Ms Siobhan Milgate, Head of Key Stage 4, said: "Adaptability is the word that comes to mind when I think about this Year 11 group. They have faced a particularly challenging couple of years, but I have been so impressed by the way they have come together, knuckled down and kept going.

"These results are a reflection of that determination and I hope every one of them feels incredibly proud of what they has achieved."
