“I would personally like to congratulate all of them on their achievements, as well as thanking my dedicated teaching and support staff for their unwavering dedication, hard work, and commitment to the students.

“We also can’t forget the amazing parental support that so many have needed over the last three years.

“With all the pressures that our students have felt themselves under, the GPUTC community has once again risen to the challenge. 

“Congratulations to everyone in Year 11, not only at GPUTC but throughout the Greater Peterborough area.

“We wish all Peterborough students the very best of luck in their chosen paths as they take their next steps, be that in our state-of-the-art sixth form provision or wherever their journey takes them.”

Lee Mawby, vice principal of Greater Peterborough UTC, said: “We are so proud of our students’ achievements.

“They have had a challenging time since starting their secondary school education due to the disruption of Covid-19, and they have shown so much resilience, dedication and commitment to secure their best results.

“We wish them the very best and look forward to many returning to complete their post-16 qualifications in September.”
