be studying dentistry at Plymouth, while Phoebe Duncan-Duggal will be following the same course at Bristol.

Headteacher Austen Hindman wrote to students to congratulate them on their achievement at a very difficult time.

He said: “You may feel that the grades you received today don’t reflect your ability or the effort that you put in to your course.

“Please don’t be distracted by this: you have done everything that has been asked of you and you should end today knowing how

proud we are of all of you.”
