Their hard work and dedication have resulted in top grades and pass rates increasing significantly across the school when compared to both covid and pre covid results.

"This mirrors the achievements of our A Level students last week both of which buck the national trend that has seen top grades and pass rates fall across the country.

“We are equally as proud of the number of students who have made exceptional progress – more than ever before. It has been a wonderful day.

“I am so proud of all our exceptional students who, every day, display such a positive work ethic and, of course, our dedicated and talented staff who teach and support them.

“It is the power of the incredibly positive relationships we enjoy at Hampton College that have contributed to students doing so well and make Hampton College such a special place. We are delighted that so many have decided to stay with us in our sixth form."
