“Holyrood’s Year 13 students have faced up to these challenges bravely and have remained highly motivated to succeed.
“They have now reaped the rewards of their commitment and we wish them the very best of luck as they embark on the next phase of their exciting journeys.
“We are especially pleased that the vast majority of our students have gained places at their first choice of university, apprenticeship provider, or employer.
“It is incredibly pleasing for the staff at Holyrood to see such happy, confident, and successful young people leaving our school to pursue such a diverse range of next steps, from sciences to education and healthcare to creative arts to English.
“I am particularly delighted to see students from Holyrood progressing to the finest universities in the country, again, and I would like to pay tribute to all of those students who have gained university places.
“I would like to congratulate Isla Vincent upon her admission into Oxford University to study Biochemistry at University College.
