Many of the current students are now looking forward to returning to the College in September to continue their academic journey into Sixth Form and study their choice of A Levels, International Baccalaureate (IB) or BTEC Sport course for the next two years.

This follows on from last week’s excellent A level results and destinations, which saw students celebrating a 96% pass rate at A level, with some outstanding individual performances and students securing places at top universities across the UK and overseas.

Mrs Pritt-Roberts, Acting Head, said:

It is a pleasure to see how well pupils have achieved. These GCSE results are a testament to their exceptional attitude, unwavering commitment, and remarkable perseverance throughout the academic year. Our pupils have demonstrated not only their academic capabilities but also their determination and resilience in overcoming challenges along the way. This success reflects the dedication and hard work of the students, parents and the staff, who have supported them every step of the way. They are now very well prepared to embark on their Sixth Form programme with us and we look forward to seeing them in September.
