Results 2021
We are delighted to share in the success of our pupils in yet another year of expcetional results at GCSE, AS Level and A Level.
Like last year, formal exams were not able to go ahead. Instead, the school was required to give each pupil a Teacher Assessed Grade (TAG) for each subject using a basket of evidence. We were extremely rigorous in applying the strict criteria given by the JCQ and Ofqual and extensive internal quality assurance was carried out before being reviewed again by the exam boards who accepted all our TAGs. Therefore, we can be confident that the grades awarded represent an accurate assessment of each pupil’s performance and were thoroughly well deserved. Below are some of the highlights.
A Level
- 54% of exams were awarded A* / A grades, including a record 124 A*s.
- 78% of exams were awarded A* - B grades.
- The overall pass rate remains at 100%.
- 54 pupils achieved at least 3 A grades, 16 pupils achieved at least 3 A* grades and particular congratulations to the 6 pupils who achieved 4A* grades.
Over 55% of pupils have secured places at Russell Group universities, 5 will be going to study at Oxford or Cambridge and 5 have secured places to study medicine/dentistry. We wish them all the very best as they embark on the next stage of their education.
