Leavers

“Our students leave the Sixth Form to go to some of the best universities in the country with a sense of purpose and confidence that neither they, nor their families, ever dreamt of.”

Alexandra Collingwood, Head of Sixth Form, Head of History

Results and leavers’ destinations

Great results following a tough year

As a non-selective school, true to our Quaker values, we help all children to do their personal best. We are extremely proud of our 2020 Sixth Form graduates. With their chance to demonstrate their ability in the normal way removed as a consequence of the pandemic, teachers were asked to provide Centre Assessed Grades that were a fair reflection of what they would have achieved in their A level examinations. They have done very well, and their results are deserved.

• 36.7% of grades were A*-A • 61.7% A*-B • 83.3% A*-C • 100% A*-E Our 2020 leavers destinations and courses include:

Dentistry at Kings College London Economics and Finance at Wofford College, South Carolina, USA Economics and Politics at the University of Edinburgh Medicine at Hull York Medical School

Modern Languages at Warwick University Spanish at University of Oxford

“This was a year group required to deal with far more adversity than any other. They have responded admirably to this challenge in a way that defines them, and we will all miss their spontaneity and humour whilst regretting their missed chances to shine during all the moments that accompany the final year at school.”
