A remarkable 15% of examinations were awarded the top grade 9, testament to the outstanding efforts of both the students and the teaching staff.

Attainment was particularly strong in core subjects, with English, Maths and Science achieving high proportions of top grades. An astonishing 34% of students were awarded level 9 for English and 32% of students received either grade 8 or 9 in Maths. 99.4% of students passed both English and Maths.

Martin Jones, Headteacher, said, “The students have worked exceptionally hard and we are very proud of their achievements. These excellent grades reward the students’ hard work and commitment to their studies, as well as the expertise and dedication of the whole staff team. The students are very well prepared for post-16 study and we look forward to further success in the Sixth Form. The vast majority of the year group will start their IB courses with us at the start of September."
