Examination Results and Performance Measures

We are delighted to celebrate the hard work and achievements of the students at Durham Johnston. We also want to acknowledge the support given by our teachers and parents. Exam success is always based upon team work.

Due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the government has recommended not making direct comparisons with data from 2020-2022 internally or between schools and colleges.
