She said: “Behind the statistics and headline figures lie many individual success stories and personal triumphs.
“In all the noise over the coming days, I hope our pupils take a moment to reflect on the road travelled to get to today, have quiet pride in their achievements following a challenging couple of years.
“I hope they will join me in thanking those who have helped them along the way and those who care for them at home for their all their encouragement, support and guidance.”
