Excellent results have again been achieved by our students in the second year of the tougher, reformed GCSEs.

Over 9% of all grades were at the very highest Level 9, which is more than double last year's national average, and 37% were at 9-7, the equivalent of old A* and A grades.  95% of students gained five or more GCSEs at grades 9-4.

Almost a fifth (19%) of students gained grades 9-7 or A*/A in 8 or more subjects, which is an impressive achievement.

Mr Meadows was full of praise for all the students, saying: "Although historical comparisons aren't relevant, I am delighted that students have again done themselves proud in achieving such strong results in times of tougher exams and a challenging grading system.  A great deal of hard work has gone in to reaching this high standard and I am very pleased for all our students and congratulate them all."
