William Manning, Headteacher at St Birinus, said …

“The legacy of the pandemic made for a bumpy transition to secondary school for this cohort, but the

boys have demonstrated a most remarkable character and resilience. I am very pleased with the results

that they have achieved today and so excited for their next steps post 16.

As a professional community, St Birinus staff are incredibly proud - I am so very grateful for their

relentless hard work and drive, helping the boys realise their potential and delivering such commendable

outcomes today.”
