Pupils at Great Torrington are celebrating their individual success in their GCSEs today. As a cohort they have always been a fantastic year group and results have reflected all their hard work over the past five years.

The past 18 months has been incredibly tough for the pupils, and they have achieved so much despite the challenges. Not only have they gained a fantastic set of grades that will allow them to pursue their chosen college or career paths, the challenges of Covid have created resilient and independent young people who will be well prepared for the future. They have built new skills working remotely that will transfer into the future world of work.

They should all be extremely proud of their results, the grades awarded were based on hard evidence gained over a significant period and range of assessments. Every grade produced reflects the pupil’s abilities and were arrived at following a robust and rigorous process.

The staff at GTS wish the pupils every success in the future and look forward to seeing them all again at the Prom in September. We would also like to thank the Parents/Carers who have not only supported their young people throughout but also the school.
