Results below are a summary of Performance Table information. These measures only include students who are 16 – 18, ignoring those who are in their third year of study in the sixth form and those (for progress measures) who have come from overseas or have other reasons for not holding UK KS4 qualifications. These results are, therefore, not the same as overall results achieved for the Year 13 cohort. These results do not include some level 3 qualifications offered by the school and accepted by universities.
Some students are included in more than one group eg a student who studies an A level and also a level 3 Technical Qualification will appear in both Academic Qualifications and Technical Qualfications.
