“As promised, I write to confirm the results of my child’s GCSEs this summer.

She has passed all seven subjects in Art, English Language, English Literature, Maths, History and Combined Science.

She has done amazingly well and is presently attending College to study A level history, law and psychology. In addition she has a part time job.

We cannot thank you enough for the support you have given. You, and your staff, have always gone out of your way to speak with us, making us feel we have had someone to care and listen, especially when we have been through some heartbreaking times. Nothing has been too much trouble . The encouragement my child has received from all who have dealt with her, I am sure has helped motivate her studies, when other professionals failed to see past her challenging behaviour.

With many thanks from both my child and myself to Miss Lockett, Mr Cooksey, Mrs Royle and all the team, including Jim Matthews who always had the most positive words to build my child’s self esteem.

Keep up the good work believing that every child matters!”
