Simon Warburton, Principal at Ely College, added: “It is a pleasure to be celebrating with our staff and students.

“The results are a real testament of their resilience throughout this period, and all students and our amazing staff should be extremely proud of their accomplishments.”

Following the Government’s decision to cancel exams again this summer, students’ results were based on teacher assessments.

These were assessed by the pupils’ performance in mock examinations and coursework, as well as attainment throughout their A Level and Level 3 course.
