“They worked hard throughout their time in the Sixth Form and their results reflect this; about a third of results were either an A grade or one of the prestigious A* grades.

“Over 10% of students gained at least one A* grade.

“The overwhelming majority of our students have secured their first choice university place or been accepted on apprenticeship or training schemes.

“They have done so well and we applaud their achievements; they are fine ambassadors for QEGS.
