Mrs McGuirk, Principal at The JCB Academy, commented, “Following what has been an unprecedented situation, it has been wonderful to watch students celebrate their success with their families.
“I would like to pay a special tribute to teachers and support staff who have shown such dedication and professionalism to support their students and enable them to make their next steps.”
