Work Hard And Play Hard!Work Hard And Play Hard!

Last year, 20% of Year 14 students achieved a minimum of A + A + A at A-level.

Each student also participated in a variety of

other extra-curricular activities:

e.g. voluntary work, sport, music, drama, etc.

Very good exam results are often complemented by achievement in other non-academic areas.

Universities are not just interested in your exam results but in your character and personality.

However good time management is essential!

- get the balance right!
