We are proud of the academic results achieved every year by our Upper Sixth (Year 13) leavers.聽 In 2022, we saw a fantastic 45.1% of papers taken graded at A*, with 93% at A*/A or B grades.
Our leavers progress to some of the leading Universities in the country, with over 75% gaining places at prestigious Russell Group institutions.
