Seaford Head students celebrate ‘exceptional’ GCSE results

The school in Arundel Road said excellent results were achieved on Thursday (August 20) across the year group.

Headteacher Bob Ellis said, “I know our students feel frustrated that they did not have the opportunity to show their understanding in an exam setting but the grades they received are the result of 11 years of sustained effort and are fully deserved.
