Headteacher Catrina Hamilton said, “As always we are proud of not only our top achieving students but of all our girls. The results reflect the hard work and desire to succeed by all the staff and students. Together they have helped once again to drive us to excellence.”
In all, receiving an Ursuline education has helped our girls to achieve great grades at GCSE, of which they and we are rightly proud. However, it has also instilled in them the ethos of Serviam, which will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. We look forward to hearing about our girls’ next steps – we know they will be extraordinary.
