St Mary’s Principal, Mrs Siobhan Kelly, is delighted with the school’s success.
“Once again St Mary’s has produced a superb set of GCSE results and demonstrated continued improvement," she said. "I would like to congratulate the outgoing Year 12 students and their parents on their well-deserved achievements.
"The entire school community recognises how difficult it has been for pupils and their families during these unusual and challenging times.
"We look forward to welcoming many of the students back to St Mary’s to commence A-Level studies and would also like to wish our school leavers every success.”
