“There are times when students feel they cannot do something, it is too hard or they have done enough but a real strength of the Durrington staff is that we never give up, we believe in what our students can aspire to and will always seek to find a way forward.”
Chair of governors Dawn Kearney congratulated the students and staff on their excellent results.
She said: “The governors and I are delighted that our students have been so successful and we would like to thank the staff for their hard work and relentless pursuit of excellence for all.”
