Principal John Rubinstein said: "I’m incredibly proud of our students. This year’s results are a real testament to the hard-working ethos of our college and the effort and commitment put in by both our students and our staff.

"Our combined A level and AS results are the best we’ve had in the last three years.

"In a climate of desperate underfunding in the education sector and increasing competition in our locale – that’s a significant achievement."

Mathematicians did particularly well with 73 students getting an A* while the art department achieved 97 per cent A*-B, with six students receiving the top grade.
