Congratulations go to all those who took external examinations in the summer.

Last Year’s Year 9 have achieved excellent results in Maths and Science and we are still awaiting the final results in English following on from the well publicised marking difficulties experienced over the summer.

Year 12 (now Year 13) achieved pleasing AS results.

The Year 13 girls who have just left achieved outstanding results—they were very close to our highest ever results—with over 85% of grades at A and B with 61% of results at grade A. Almost a quarter of students achieved 4A’s or above.
