Headteacher Gary Lewis said: “This is another wonderful set of results from an outstanding sixth form. Our cohort has expanded once again and it is pleasing to see the number of distinctions on vocational courses as our students excel across a diverse range of study paths.

“As well as university destinations, we have a number of students who have successfully obtained apprenticeships at the highest level across a range of sectors.”
