As advocates of a fully-rounded education, our Key stage 4 students are encouraged to keep the range of subjects they choose at GCSE level as wide as possible, ensuring studies are balanced both in terms of knowledge acquisition and learning experiences.
We encourage our students to play to their strengths and to be themselves. Brilliantly. In doing so, our Year 11s consistently attain excellent results at GCSE level. Find an in-depth breakdown of our most recent GCSE results below.
