01:18Caroline, you were super proud, of course, of all these youngsters that you've been with day in,

01:24day out for, what, five years now? Well, so I've been here one year, but these guys,

01:29I'm really proud of them for their journey because they started and Covid was still very much a thing,

01:34that awful word that we talk about. So these guys didn't do sats. So for them, it's their first big

01:40external exams. Lucas said they've absolutely smashed it. And that has been their attitude all

01:46the way through. They've worked really, really hard. They were so mature and sensible and dedicated

01:52during the whole exam series. And it has been my absolute privilege to be their principal and

01:57and get to know them and work alongside them. But these grades very much belong to them. They have

02:01battled all sorts of diversity in order to achieve these absolutely wonderful results. So we wish them all the

02:07well. Okay, then we're at Burton Borough School today for GCSE results. Please introduce yourselves,
