2024

Congratulations to the Class of 2024! We are delighted with your achievements as a year group, not just your excellent final grades, but also, all of your contributions to our school community and your lasting legacy.  We know we are sending a delightful group of young adults into the world to make your mark as you have done at school.

We are an inclusive Sixth Form, accepting students with six grade 4s at GCSE right through to students with grades 8 and 9in every subject.  We are particularly proud of the ‘excellent’ progress each Year 13 student made, which puts us in the top 25% of schools for progress (Alps QI/VA Score of 3).  This means that every student was challenged and supported to do their very best.

What is also remarkable is that 98% of Year 13 students achieved their intended destination, supported by our experienced Sixth Form Team. Of the students who have chosen to study at University, 90% achieved their first choice place (vs. 80% nationally), including 20% at Russell Group Universities. You can see the range of student destinations on the map below.

We are grateful to the hard work of our teachers and the unwavering support of parents/carers and families. We wish all our Year 13 students every future success and hope you will keep in contact with the school.
