Dr Jeremy Plumb, headteacher at the school said: “We are hugely proud of the year 11 students who achieved an array of outstanding GCSE examination results. It is worth remembering that this cohort of students started their time at TCC with remote learning as their year 7 was interrupted by the pandemic, but they have worked hard to overcome the challenges they faced. They were a fantastic group of students who not only demonstrated a desire to succeed academically, but also a strong community ethos, working cooperatively with their teachers and peers.

“Our top performing student achieved grades 8 and 9 for every subject. Over 20 grade 9’s were achieved by our students which is an impressive achievement. 5 students achieved grade 9 in physics and 4 students achieved grade 9 in maths and English respectively.

Dr Plumb continued: “This achievement across the college is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of each and every student, together with the support and encouragement of their teachers. Congratulations to all students for their individual achievement and praise to all staff who have steered the students through the courses and examinations. The college is looking forward to welcoming a significant number of these students into the Sixth Form at the college which also celebrates good results and sees every student move successfully to their next step”.

“All the staff and governors at the college are extremely proud of our students’ achievements and are looking forward to watching them continue to achieve and inspire others in their chosen journey after GCSEs. You are all exceptional, inspiring and talented young people, and we couldn’t be prouder of you. Well done”.
