With final grades based on teacher assessments and their two years of study disrupted by the pandemic, our students have shown resilience and have a lot to be proud of.
This year’s cohort achieved 100% A*E (A-Level & Vocational equivalent). On average, students who completed A-Level courses gained an A- with a VA score of +1.2, meaning they achieved results 1.2 grades higher than would have been expected based on their GCSE results on entry. 79% achieved A*-B grades. Students who completed vocational courses gained a Distinction+ on average with 53% awarded a Distinction*.
Our students have gained places at several universities across the country including, Queen Mary University, Middlesex University, Coventry University, University of Birmingham, University of Northampton, University on Nottingham and City, University of London; and will be studying a range of courses including Law, Children’s Nursing, Business Analytics, Psychology, Architecture, and Advertising & Digital Marketing.
