Academic Results

It goes without saying, that… WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR STUDENTS and (this is a crucial aspect of our school) this isn’t limited to the academically talented. Those who do not achieve the highest grades are equally valued for the fine efforts that they put into their work.

These figures stand comparison with independent schools in the United Kingdom and are even more creditable since our entry requirements for A-level are significantly lower than those required to enter Sixth Forms in typical independent schools.
