Examination Results 2024
31 students received a range of subject qualifications at Entry Level, BTEC, GCSE and AS level. This is our highest number of students achieving qualifications to date (15 more than in 2023). A huge 91 qualifications were awarded in total, again our highest figure on record. This included an increase in the total number of GCSE examinations taken, with 41% being Grade 4 or above. 60% of Entry Level qualifications were also awarded at the highest level. When these results are added to those gained last year, they will provide our students with important currency to access their next steps.
