Principal Ms Geraldine Pettigrew congratulated all of the girls in the Year Group upon their success:
“We are absolutely delighted by the girls’ achievements. They worked really hard and deserve their splendid grades. Every girl in the Year Group can be very proud of her achievements: they all have an excellent foundation for sixth form success.”
Ms Pettigrew continued:
“I am deeply grateful, and I know that the girls and their families are also, to the dedicated staff in Our Lady’s who support every girl in the school community and who teach at the highest level to ensure that every pupil can fulfil her potential. In this school, there is a rich and varied programme for every girl inside and outside the classroom and every gift is cherished. It is a great privilege for us to work with such caring and genuinely good young people. Congratulations to all of the students, boys and girls, in this area who, once again, have achieved such outstanding success.”
