She warmly congratulated students and staff on a strong set of results, commenting,

“Our  students knew they would not sit external examinations this year, but nonetheless they put  their hearts and souls into the assessments set by their teachers, who themselves worked  tirelessly to ensure students received results they deserved.

Students also seized the many opportunities offered by the school’s own Limitless Learning  programme and the GDST Masterclasses which offered chances to develop leadership  skills, prepare for university and deepen their knowledge on a range of subjects. I sincerely  thank the staff of Northampton High School for their unwavering support of our students,  their professionalism and hard work in preparing the Teacher Assessed Grades (TAGs) for  the examination boards.”

“Our students are taking up a variety of exciting opportunities as they leave the school.  Whilst the majority are taking up university places, others are embarking upon  apprenticeships, taking a gap year or joining the armed forces. We are proud that a  Northampton High School and GDST education has enabled them to set out their paths, fulfil  their ambitions and take the next step in their journeys with confidence.”
