Mr Horan emphasised that the cohorts' achievements went further than their exam results.
He said: “It's very easy to focus on statistics when we make this announcement.
“However, we must recognise that, while these are important, they often hide the real achievement and fundamental value of what our graduates have been doing.
“This would include the significant contributions to sports, music, drama, community service, clubs, leadership posts and other initiatives, whilst making sure their academics were in the right place. These are great students who will do wonderful things.“
