Exam Success

A Level Results 2020

Hard work, determination and positive attitudes have been rewarded with excellent results for our Year 13 students. We were delighted to see so many of our Year 13 in school in a socially distanced results event. Seeing so many of them thrilled with their results, ready to move on to the next stage in their lives, was a real honour.  The majority of students achieved or exceeded their predicted grades and should feel very proud of their success in gaining a place at the university of their choice or securing employment.

Our traditional A-level exam success continues at all levels with a high number of top grades being achieved and superb pass rates in all 27 subjects. Some excellent individual results were achieved in a range of subjects including Music, Photography, Politics, Sociology, Geography and Further Maths.

Our students’ impressive results have enabled them to secure places at many prestigious institutions including Oxford, Imperial College London, Durham, UCL, Newcastle, Nottingham, York, Exeter and Leeds. Our Year 13 students are moving on to the next stage of their lives and studying a wide range of courses such as Midwifery, Maths, Chemical Engineering, Business, Medicine, Astrophysics, Geography, Pharmacy, Law and Acting. Of those going to university over 40% will be attending Russell Group universities from September, which is our best performance ever.
