A-Level Results
We are immensely proud of our Year 13 students who have shown resilience and determination in the face of unique challenges over the course of the pandemic. This summer, they sat their first ever external examinations, having had their GCSE examinations cancelled. We are delighted with the results which have allowed them to move on to University courses or apprenticeships. We have several students who have achieved a full suite A/A* grades and many heading to exciting courses at the top universities in the country. We would like to congratulate each of our students on their dedication and commitment and thank all the teachers who have supported them to achieve these marvellous results.
