“For some of our students who joined us with below-average GCSEs, these achievements today will be life-changing.

“They are thoroughly well deserved and just reward for all the hard work, ambition and determination shown by our students. In particular, I would like to give a special mention to all of our staff who have worked really hard, with great focus and energy to enable and support our students to do their best.

“The A Level results are complemented by another outstanding set of BTEC results where 68% of entries were awarded the highest grade of Starred-Distinction and 92% achieving at least a Distinction. This again confirms the college as one of the best providers of BTEC in the country.

“Our purpose at the college is to enable students to set their sights high and realise their ambitions. We have students with a wide range of talents and abilities whose needs we are here to meet as part of the local community.

Students achieving such good qualifications and progressing to higher-level destinations is clearly a big part of that and we continually strive to achieve even more for them.”
