Headmaster, Alistair Hopkins, described the 2017 A level results as “extremely impressive in the face of the uncertainty caused by A level changes.”

He added: “Our students have delivered a wonderful set of results and brought great credit to themselves, their teachers, their families and the School.

“These results are indicative of students’ drive and determination to do their best.”
