Overall 28 per cent of exams achieved A* to A grades and the 105 pupils achieved a pass rate of 99.6 per cent.

Almost four out of every five exams achieved grades of C and above.

The exams results were in line with the pre-Covid exams results of 2019 – despite this year’s students being the first cohort to sit the full examinations without parts of the syllabus removed and the disruption to their education during the pandemic.
