The A-Level and GCSE results are a strong indication of the hard work of our talented pupils along with the commitment of members of the School’s teaching staff. Beyond academic excellence, our pupils also excel in extra-curricular activities and participate in a bespoke leadership programme. Many of them have gained international recognition in sporting, cultural and charitable work and have played a vital role in developing our vibrant School community.”
