*In 2017 and 2016 we have shown results with and without Extended Project Qualifications (EPQs). An EPQ is a qualification taken by some students, equivalent to half an A level. It is part of level three of the National Qualifications Framework. 

For transparency, we feel it is important to view the results with and without these figures. EPQ results are included with a weighting of half an A level.

Leavers’ destinations

Our students consistently obtain places at their first choice university and are successful in winning places on highly competitive courses at the top universities.

We are extremely proud to be rated the best independent school in the North and 6th in the UK for our leavers’ destinations.

Almost all our students go forward to higher education. We use The Times Schools Guide table for comparisons, which looks at results, facilities, research funding and other measures.

Government Schools A Level and GCSE Performance Tables

The government releases performance tables which report on various measures in January. These can sometimes be misleading. For example, measuring the A Level academic results of a school by average points scored per A Level student or results in the English Baccalaureate measure.
