Students Rise to the Exam Challenge

GFM students were jumping for joy last month as our two secondary schools celebrated outstanding A Level and GCSE results. For the second year running, exams were cancelled, with final grades based on the evidence produced by learners in class. It meant students receiving their results had both of their past two years of study interrupted by the pandemic.

Geoff Walls works across both schools as Director of Schooling for the GFM. He said: ‘We are really pleased with the efforts of this cohort of students.They have worked really hard through some really challenging times and they have got the results that they deserved. It’s been a real challenge for staff as well. We are really pleased with the way that they responded with the challenges of working through the pandemic and we are happy with the outcome today.”

Nigel Matthias, Executive Headteacher for GFM, said: ‘We are extremely proud of the achievements of our students this year.“I want to congratulate the students and all the staff for their incredible endeavours throughout a difficult year. The results are due to their hard work and talent. Their achievements are awarded in the fairest way possible.”
