"No matter what their ability, students have to work very hard to fulfil their potential at A-level. As well as congratulating the students themselves, I should like to thank their teachers and parents. Mutual support helps see the students through the most demanding periods."
Top of the class was Dominic Lague who, as well as achieving As in maths and physics and a B in history, was also the first student to have sat an AEA (advanced A-level) at the school.
