Students at Shaftesbury School achieved excellent GCSE results and BTEC grades this year.
The number of students achieving five or more 4+ grades, including Maths and English, has improved, with many subjects securing at least 80 per cent of their entries at grade 4+.

The subjects which achieved these excellent outcomes were: the Arts, Biology, Chemistry and Physics, French, Religious Studies, Drama, History and Maths.
Headteacher Donna London-Hill said: “We are thrilled with these results. They are a testament to the hard work of our students and staff who have worked in partnership to secure these high outcomes.

“We all know that the past few years have been tough, but the resilience and determination shown by our young people is just brilliant, and it goes to show that hard work does pay off.
“The students were relieved and delighted with the results they received today and it was lovely to see so many happy faces – it means they are able to move onto their next steps, which is great.”
Lots of students were keen to thank their teachers for the support and guidance they had been offered for the duration of their courses.
