The overall percentage of pupils achieving at least five A*-C grades totalled 71 per cent and the proportion of those achieving at least five A*-Cs including English and maths totalled 55 per cent.

“In common with many other schools, the volatility felt around GCSE examinations has impacted upon results so it is a real credit that students have achieved their grades this year.
“I am delighted that so many of them will now go on to study in our sixth form centre and have the challenge of beating our record-breaking A-level results from last week.”
