Three quarters of the grades achieved by pupils ranged from from A*-C.
Headteacher John Wells said: “It is a great pleasure to know that out sixth form students have achieved this level of performance in an extremely competitive field and will now be able to accept places at their chosen university or apprenticeship.
“I am pleased for all students across the whole grade range. They have worked really hard and the excellent relationships with the teachers and the high level of teaching and learning have secured outstanding results.”
The school’s two highest performers were Rebekah Hilder and Helen Price who both achieved four A* grades.
