Mr Harrison, Headteacher at The Market Weighton School, said: “Many students have achieved grades as high as any in previous year and in some cases those who have been impacted most following the periods of lockdown have still managed to achieve good grades and can move on to College.

"These students have been well supported by staff and parents and we are equally proud of these results.”
