Head boy Lennon Crandle was awaded six 9s, two 8s and a 7, and is looking forward to studying four A-levels in biology, chemistry, physics and maths.

He said: “I’m so grateful and humbled. Brittons have been so supportive with all the changes I have made in both my personal and academic life.

“It goes to show, you get out what you put in and if you’re willing to work, you’ll be rewarded.

“I have loved my time at Brittons and want to say thank you for preparing me for the next chapter of my life.”

Head girl Alyssa Buttery achieved 4s and 5s in all her subjects alongside a centre-assessed Level 2 Pass in child development.

Alyssa said: “I’m over the moon with my results. Thanks to all the teachers who helped me.”

He said: “I’m so grateful to all the teachers for the experience I’ve had at Brittons.

“The support is incredible and I want to dedicate my results to all of them who helped me. The teachers are so encouraging and even outside lessons, they always have time to support you which means if you work hard, it’s possible to get the best grades.”
