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.
Congratulations to all the students who gained the grades they need to progress onto the next stage of their education. 40 students gained straight A*/A grades across all the subjects they took with no student achieving anything less than an E grade across the whole cohort.
Students who studied BTEC qualifications also did very well with a significant number of Distinction and Distinction* outcomes. These outcomes alongside their A level outcomes have enabled them to progress to a range of universities.
