"We strive to get the very best opportunities for all our students and to ensure they have the skills and qualifications for their next steps.
"To that end, all students leaving our sixth form last year continued on to University or gained employment – an achievement of which we are immensely proud.
"We are excited about the year ahead as we build upon the last seven years of increasing progress for our students and we look forward to sharing their successes this summer."
