Dee Wallace, Principal at Parkside Community College, said:
“This year’s incredible GCSE results are exceptional for our school and showcase a significant improvement on our results from last year. They are testament to the excellent teaching delivered by our staff, as well as the enduring ambition of our students, and are a sign of how our school is continuing to go from strength to strength.
“It is particularly pleasing to see such superb results from a number of our students with additional needs, showing that each and every young person is able to thrive at Parkside. Our departing Year 11s will be sorely missed however we look forward to supporting them from afar as they embark on the next stage of their education and move forward into very bright futures.”
