JHN’s head of sixth Form, Wendy Howard, said: “I am delighted to see the hard work and efforts of our students pay off with many wonderful results.” It is incredibly pleasing to see the rise in the % of A*-B grades gained and I look forward to continuing this rising trend in the excellent record of achievement at the school.

Most students gained places at their universities of choice and there were many outstanding individual achievements which we will celebrate at our annual awards evening.

“We would like to thank the parents for their continued support and staff for all their hard work. We, of course, wish the students all the very best with their future plans.”
