Headmaster, Mr David Brazier, said,


‘We are naturally delighted with these superb results and the clarity they bring in terms of academic performance. It is very useful to set these current results against the 2019 scores, as this shows clearly the development in Teaching and Learning over the past three years. It is important to remember that this cohort also had their teaching disrupted during the pandemic. I would like to thank all the teachers who have worked so diligently to support and enable these pupils in their time at St James.’
