“As I begin my retirement in September, this is my final results day as headteacher of Prince William School and I am incredibly proud to see our students’ much-deserved success and wish them all the very best for the future as they continue their academic studies or follow a vocational path.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our teachers for their dedication and hard work teaching and supporting all our students to achieve the best they can. They do an amazing job and are a wonderful team of staff who have been a privilege to work with.”
