TO THE CLASS OF 2021 – WE ARE SO VERY PROUD OF YOU! CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR TALENTED STUDENTS To the class of 2021: We are so very proud of you!

These last two years have been extraordinarily demanding. Like students across the globe, you have had to cope with so much uncertainly and sudden change, to adapt to new ways of learning and the cancellation of exams.

We are proud too of our Long Road staff team who adapted brilliantly to all the many challenges and we are in awe of you, our students, who have proved you are an amazing group of people: creative, thoughtful, intelligent, passionate and kind.

It is clear too from the excellent grades you have achieved today that your tenacity and commitment has paid off. Whatever your subject(s) we know that the class of 2021 will go on to do great things and we can’t wait to see what you all do next…

"My favourite thing about studying at Long Road was that it was very welcoming and the teachers were all very supportive."
