I couldn’t be prouder of our pupils’ achievements, and I’m deeply grateful to our staff for their unwavering support and guidance over the past two years.
We’d like to celebrate our students not only for their impressive A Level results but also for the meaningful contributions they’ve made during their time at Christ College. We believe in an all-round education, and we’ve been fortunate that so many of our Year 13 pupils embraced the opportunities here, both inside and outside the classroom. These experiences are invaluable as they prepare for life beyond school. I wish them every success as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their lives.”
