Sixth form leavers had a 93% pass rate and are moving on to exciting further education pathways.
Anna Tomlinson, Headteacher at St Margaret’s School for Girls, said: ‘This year’s results are testament to our pupils’ hard work, motivation, and, of course, to the dedication and skill of our teaching staff.’
‘Among those celebrating today is Abigail, who is about to embark upon an exciting Gap year volunteering to teach English in Costa Rica before taking up her place at the University of Strathclyde to study forensics and analytical chemistry.’

Abigail said: ‘I have had individual careers advice and support tailored to my talents and interests throughout senior school which made me aware of the world of possibilities available to me. This in turn provided opportunities to enrich my learning beyond the curriculum. Being in a girls school has meant that stereotypes about male and female careers and positions of responsibility bore no relevance to the choices I made. Every pupil at St Margaret’s is encouraged and nurtured to find their own pathway and be their own person.’
