In Computer Science all students achieved grades 9-8, with over 86% in Drama achieving the same top grades. In Food, 95% achieved grades 9-7, with 87% in Art and 80% in History achieving these grades.

Their success is down to their hard work and commitment, alongside great support from a brilliant staff team.’
