Testament to the breadth of students’ talents and determination across their suite of A Level subjects, 17 students secured three or four A*s, with 38% of Sixth Formers achieving three or more A* or A grades.

Many congratulations to all our Sixth Formers on what is a very impressive set of A Level results. All our students set high aspirations for themselves and work incredibly hard to achieve their goals, both in the classroom and more widely. Their tireless efforts and determination has been rewarded today, with many of our students securing places at our nation’s top universities.
