William Brierly, headteacher commented ‘I am very proud of these pupils, it has not been the easiest of years for many of them, but they have unanimously risen to the challenge with results that exceed pre-pandemic data. I am excited to see how they will progress as they move on to A levels and their careers. The broad choice of subjects and type of qualifications on offer at Claremont mean that students looking to pursue careers ranging from medicine to the arts are well served.  The diversity of interests here are part of what make our sixth form such an exciting and inspiring place to be.’
