Head teacher Susan Hannam said pupils had achieved strong results once again.

“I am thrilled for our students,” she said. “As a non-selective school, we cater for a wide range of abilities, from those who are academically gifted to students with learning challenges.

“It is wonderful to see them achieve success and gain places on the courses of their choice.”

Among the students going to university will be Tom Hartshorn, who will study English Literature at Exeter University alongside Lauren James who will study modern languages. Molly Biddle will read English at Brighton, while Rachael Carver will study geography at Staffordshire University. Joseph Peters will explore computer game design at Derby University and Jordan Williams will go to Keele to study education.

Other achievements saw Amy Butler gain AAB grades to study Law at York University, while Sania Ahmed, who also achieved AAB, will go to Birmingham to study Business with Languages.

Head of sixth form Tony Sherrington said: “Exam results are only part of the equation – universities and employers are looking for more than A Level grades, and our students have what they want, namely the soft skills such as excellent communication, teamwork and leadership.”
