Glenlola Collegiate Celebrates Outstanding Examination Results

Mr Thompson, Headmaster of Glenlola Collegiate School has praised pupils on another year of exceptional results. He commented,

 ‘Our girls have once again achieved excellent results at all levels; the well-deserved consequence of their hard work and commitment over the past year and of the invaluable support offered by their parents during their time at Glenlola Collegiate. I am sure they are as proud of their daughters as we are.

It is rewarding for the staff to see the tremendous impact that their dedication and care has had on the achievements of the pupils they have taught.  These results are also a glowing testament to the quality of the education provided by their primary schools whose teachers have laid the foundations for these successes. I congratulate them and wish our girls well as they prepare to move on to the next phase of their education, especially our Leavers most of whom will be taking up places in universities across the UK and beyond with one of our pupils having secured a place to read Medicine at the University of Oxford.’
