We want to congratulate all our students and wish them well as they take up their places at university, employment or begin their gap year. Some of our students were able to overcome really challenging personal circumstances to achieve excellent results. This was partly due to the support and guidance given to them by the school, and due to their own individual hard work.
AS results
The students also achieved some excellent AS results this year. Three students achieved five grade A results; seventeen students achieved 4 grade A results and nine students had 3 A grades at AS level.
