Examination Results
The College offers great diversity and choice and we are proud of the results of our students. We do not artificially inflate the entrance requirements in order to guarantee success and high places in the league tables, as do some selective and independent schools. We are proud of our open policy. However, if we look at the results of our students by ability, they are outstanding.

Targets for each student
Not content with past success, we are committed to the continuing improvement of students' achievements. To this end, every A level student entering the College is set a minimum grade for examination performance and is helped by tutors to try to exceed it.
