Comment
The Year 10 Geography students achieved very good results with a high pass rate: there were sixteen grades between A* and C, of which ten were A* - A.
Similarly, the Year 10 Science results reflected the success of the range of students involved; 180 out of 188 achieved between A* and C.
The Year 11 results were also very good and 58.2% of the grades were A* or A which is an improvement on last year.  94.8% of the examinations were passed with A* to C grades and 96% of the students obtained five or more passes at A-C.
In the Lower Sixth 65.6% of AS subjects were passed with A or B grades and the overall pass rate, A - E, of 97%; between A and B the rate was 76%.
Eight students took the Advanced Extension Award in either English and or History and all achieved Merits or Distinctions.
The results continue to reflect positively the effort of the students and the commitment of the teachers.
