There were many outstanding performances across the full ability range with a significant number of pupils achieving the highest grades 9, 8, 7, A*, A across the board.

Year 9 pupils, who chose to study Astronomy, achieved a 93% A*-C pass rate, whilst the early entry Year 10 RE group achieved 100% A*-B and a significant number of pupils took a GCSE in their first language achieving excellent grades.
