“Congratulations once again to our students who have worked exceptionally hard to produce A Level results which will set them in good stead for Higher Education and employment,” says Vice Principal Kay Morgan. “The fact that we have exceeded last year’s results in both A and AS Level is a testament to their talent and dedication.

I’m especially pleased that 209 students, across AS and A Level, achieved straight A* and A grades in all their subjects.”

“I would also like to acknowledge our staff, who have supported these students throughout the year and whose contribution to today’s success stories is hugely significant.”

  • Her twin brother Thomas Olsen, who has been accepted by the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance to study Music Composition and Jazz Saxaphone
  • George Burton, who has been accepted by Bristol University to study Classics
