The year 11 cohort has experienced a difficult time because of the coronavirus pandemic – which resulted in the school being closed since mid-March and the cancellation of public examinations.
But the school said its latest set of GCSE results ‘continue to reflect consistently improving academic performance over the last four years’.

“These outcomes are a testament to the tireless work that the students, their families and staff have put in on a daily basis.
“We saw these students begin their lives at Eckington School as young adults – they have now succeeded academically and have also developed into well-rounded individuals.
“In addition, our students’ success in sport and the arts, and their work with charities and so on, reflect their hard-working and empathetic qualities.
“We wish them well in their future lives.”
