“Their hard work, resilience and commitment throughout their time at Smithills have been remarkable, and it was wonderful to see so many of them delighted with what they had achieved.

“Our staff have also shown tremendous commitment, going above and beyond to support our young people and give every pupil the opportunity to succeed.

“Our vision is ‘Success for All’, and these outcomes demonstrate what can be achieved when pupils, staff and families work together.

“Most importantly, our young people can now look ahead with confidence as they move on to the next stage of their education, training or employment.

“We wish every one of them the very best for the future.”

Pupils also shared their excitement and gratitude as they collected their results.
