Our heart-felt congratulations go to our 2023 A-level students this year. They are celebrating outstanding successes across the board with over 25% of results at A* grade, 64% A*-A grade and over 90% A*-B grade.
Over 86% will be heading off to their first-choice university and further to this we have maintained our success rate of successful applications to Russell Group and Times Top 10 Universities, and medical or dental schools with 88% of students heading to these prestigious destinations. The remainder of our students are heading off to study at international universities, take up apprenticeships, or study at some of the most prestigious music and art institutions.
