Our main priority is for every student to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or ability.I am immensely proud of our Sixth Form. We have extraordinary students and a dedicated and talented group of staff. Our expectations are high, we insist on exemplary conduct and encourage all students to do their very best in all they do, including being involved in a wide variety of extra-curricular activities.Over the last three years our Sixth Form has had a 100% pass rate at A Level, with 40% of grades at A or A* and a 100% pass rate at Level 3. This sees us as one of the top performing Sixth Forms in the country.
