Pupils at Ely College were surprised to receive ‘good luck’ envelopes from their parents and teachers ahead of their GCSE exams.
Principal Richard Spencer also wrote a letter home to Year 11 students saying how proud the college community was of students’ resilience, positive attitude and hard work.
He wrote: “The outcome of an exam doesn’t define your worth as a person.

“Life will test you in many ways - this is just one. But your approach to them can say something powerful about your character… Year 11, we are very proud of you.”
