Headmaster Adrian Meadows was delighted that big changes to the A-Level system has not adversely affected the pupils’ outcomes.

He said: “These results show how well our students have coped with the changes presented to them and I congratulate them on their resilience and hard work.

“The teachers deserve huge credit too in dealing with changes to the structure of GCSEs at the same time.

“Whilst comparisons with previous years are technically not possible, I am extremely encouraged by our continued high achievements.”
