Headteacher Margaret Hutchinson paid tribute to the hard work of students and teachers that led to the these outstanding achievements:

At a time when A Level and vocational qualifications have become much more challenging nationally, it is a credit to the diligence of our students that they have achieved such success.  It is always a pleasure to share results day with our young people and we wish them every success and happiness in the next stage of their lives.
