"We have to acknowledge the commitment of students, staff and families who have to the hard work to support each other during this time” she added.
“We should also recognise that, often, the staff team around students do not merely comprise of teachers.
“There are many members of support staff who work tirelessly with individuals to encourage them and provide support to allow them to regularly attend school and lessons.
"There are many pupils who have relied on these staff members over the past two years.”
Mrs Horn added: "There are too many individuals to mention that have been successful; many of our pupils worked hard to overcome adversity during and following the pandemic and will rightly be celebrating today.
"Several of our pupils have been awarded the very highest grades and I’m delighted that their efforts were recognised in this way.
