“Although these statistics are remarkable for the College, the real joy is in the pathways to success that these grades have opened for our students,” Mr Houston said.

“I expect record numbers returning to sixth form to study, and there will be particular interest in the new A-level courses we are running in Digital Technology and History.

“I am delighted for our parents and pupils alike, and very grateful for the hard work and dedication our teachers have shown. I am immensely proud of these achievements and thankful for the enthusiasm and work of the Board of Governors, our dedicated and supportive parents and our entire school staff.”
