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!
