The Year 13 cohort received their results today (13 August), with the school highlighting the achievements of its 105 students.

Overall, 40% of grades were A or A*, compared with 30% nationally, while 70% were graded B or above, compared with 56% nationally.

The school said 20 students achieved three or more A levels at A* or A, while the results also led to a record number of students being offered places at Russell Group universities.

Among those celebrating were Catriona, who will study Medicine at the University of Birmingham, Ella, who has accepted an offer to study French at the University of Oxford, and Lyanne, who will study Chemical Engineering at the University of Cambridge.
