We are extremely pleased to report some outstanding achievements by our Sixth Form students in their academic and vocational A levels this summer. Students have worked very hard under difficult circumstances to reach their full potential and we are very proud of their achievements.

This year, following the cancellation of exams, grades were awarded through a process of teacher assessed grades, against a national standard and approved and awarded by the exam boards. The government is not publishing performance data for any schools or colleges this year due to the varying impact of the pandemic.

It is very difficult to single out individuals as all of our students deserve credit but here are a few examples of the achievements of some our outstanding sixth form cohort:

We are very proud of them all and wish them well as they embark upon a wide variety of future pathways.’
