Daniel Baxby, principal of the college, said: "On behalf of all of the staff at Witchford, I would like to congratulate all of our Year 11 students on their results, and wish them well for the next steps they will be taking in their studies or careers.

"As a college, we are celebrating a reversal in the decline in results over the last few years. Overall progress and achievement has improved, and smiles we saw this morning bear that out.

"This is down to all of the hard work of our students and staff and the support from our parents and carers. This is an exciting time for the college, and we look forward to continuing our journey next year."
