Our A level results were again very strong, with 72.34% of grades at A*/A/B, with a pass rate of 99.79%.  This represents an increase in both the pass rate and in the proportion achieving higher grades than in 2018, and the proportion achieving A*/A/B is the highest the school has achieved for many years.  The proportion getting in to their first or second choice University offer remains at the high level of recent years.

A number of subjects achieved 100% at A*/A/B – Art, Drama/Theatre Arts, Electronics and English Literature.  Other subjects saw a particularly strong performance, with more than 80% A*/A/B grades –   Business 87.5%, Computing 94.12% German 80%, Maths 80%  and Media Studies 83.33%.  Many other subjects performed very well, given the starting points of their particular group of students.

Top performers at A level include Lawrence Alford (2A* 2A), James Bennion-Pedley (5A*), Miles Courtie (4A*), Chris Forde (3A*), Josepg Garrett (2A* 2A), Matthew Gray (2A* 1A), Frank Herrington (2A* 1A A* in EPQ), Tom Lemans (3A* 1A), Menan Loganathan (3A*), Daniel Miller (2A*, 1A, A* in EPQ), Dan Noble (3A* 1A), Eryk Skalinski (2A* 1A), James Skinner (4A*) andTimur Sypchenko (4A* 1A B in EPQ).
