Students making the highest levels of progress from their starting points include:

Oliwia Sobieraj; Sude Yaz; Natalie Cowen; Joseph Ford; Lucy Finch; Jessy Brooks.

Mike Garlick, principal of The Regis School, said: “I am very pleased for the students who are celebrating their results today.

“In particular, it is so encouraging that we are narrowing the gap in achievement for those on pupil premium.

“There are some excellent individual successes to be celebrated today and we look forward to welcoming many of these students into our Sixth Form where we enjoyed some very strong results last week.”

He added: “I’d like to thank our staff as well for all their hard work and support they offer our students.

“The difference an individual member of staff can make to a student’s confidence and determination to succeed can be significant and, talking to the students today, it is always lovely to hear them appreciate important how staff have been in helping them achieve their goals.”
