Jim Smith, Headteacher said:

“I am really pleased that these wonderful students have been able to open such stunning results this morning.

“The students should feel very proud of themselves as their journey to GCSEs has, in theory, been impacted by our school buildings.

“But in reality, subjects taught in the temporary Learning Village have achieved some of their best ever results!”

Jim Smith added, “It is exciting that we will still get to work with so many of them in our Sixth Form alongside other new students who are joining us.

But for those starting their next chapter elsewhere, we wish them well and we will always be here to support them on their journey”.

We are able to offer students a really good curriculum offer at Clevedon School and welcome applications from students who would be new to us”.
