Head of School, Dr Andrea Frame said: ‘I am so proud of our students’ achievements this year.  They have faced disruption and uncertainty from the pandemic for the whole of their Sixth Form experience, and yet they have remained calm, been resilient and adaptable and worked extremely hard to achieve these outstanding results.  I am also thankful to our staff who have supported and inspired them throughout their time at Denbigh’.

Ian Joyce, CEO of the Denbigh Alliance Trust, of which we are a member said: ‘These results and the destinations the students have secured are a credit to all at Denbigh School.  At the Trust we could not be more proud of them.’
