*In 2021 we had a small cohort of 2 pupils studying the full programme of 3 A-levels, achieving A*AB and ABB. Due to the small cohort size, we are not reporting overall percentages but would like to congratulate these A-level candidates as well as their peers studying hybrid courses on their impressive results. The School appreciates the determination and dedication shown by pupils and staff and is committed to being aspirational for the individual. Please read the full news story here.
