“This is our first cohort to go through since reintroducing English Literature to our curriculum and the cohort gained an impressive average grade of 4.7. I would like to say well done to all the students and a thank you to all the staff for their hard work.”

Ollie Donohoe, Head of Sixth Form, added: “I am pleased with the results and am very proud of all the students who have worked so hard over the past two years. Along with the good grades, all those students who have applied to university have secured a place.
