On behalf of all of the school, I offer congratulations to all of our sixth form students who received their exam results today. Although the students and teachers have had to cope with many national exam specification changes, we are delighted that the extremely high results for a wide range of students have been maintained. The standard of teaching here is excellent, and the students have responded with enormous commitment and hard work. Nearly all of our students have already had their university places confirmed.
We have achieved wonderful results, particularly at the higher grades with 15% classed A* and A and nearly 40% of all grades at A*-B.
There were especially good performances from a whole range of subjects for example 35% of Mathematics A level grades were awarded the top A*/A grade, in Further Maths 20% and in Chemistry 22%. 86% of Art grades, 50% of Business and History and 33% of English grades achieved A*-B. In BTEC Dance and Travel and Tourism 100% of the group received a Distinction or Distinction *.
