This year, following the pandemic, A-level exams were sat under normal conditions for the second time and students have had to deal with the shift back to pre-pandemic arrangements and grading systems.

Mrs A Lock, the Director of the college’s Sixth Form, said: “I am delighted with the results that our St John Plessington Sixth Form students have achieved. These results are a testament to their work and effort from over the past couple of years.

“Despite the disruption caused by the pandemic, our students have continued to work incredibly hard and adapt well to the challenges that they have faced. They are a fantastic group, and it is a pleasure to celebrate everything that they have achieved today. I wish them the best of luck for the future.”

Headteacher of St John Plessington Catholic College, Mr Peadar McLoughlin, commented: “We are all so proud of the success of our Year 13 students. As they go on into the world of work and university, we are wishing them good luck in all that they do.”
