A wonderful morning was celebrated today as Year 13 students finally found out what grades they were awarded after the past two challenging years of their
A ‘level and BTEC courses. I share with you below the headline figures and highlights. Sincere thanks to all students, parents, staff, and governors, the journey was truly a collective one for which we are all extremely grateful.
The class of 2021 overcame exceptional barriers and challenges showing resilience and courage as they completed their A Levels and BTEC courses through a blend of remote and physical teaching.
Subject teachers awarded grades to students as the CV19 pandemic gave rise to the cancellation of public examinations. Despite the many challenges faced, our students achieved outstanding grades as a result of their hard work and we warmly congratulate every one of them.
Congratulations to Year 13 students for their A Level and BTEC results.
The headline figures are as follows:
- 17 % of all entries were A* grades.
- 48.8 % of all entries were A* - A grades.
- 78.8 % of all entries were A* - B grades.

- 100 % pass rate in all A Level and BTEC subjects.
