Helen Cullen, Headteacher said: "Congratulations to the Year 13 students and their teachers who have worked hard and deserve these super results.

"I am sure that the students will all be proud of their achievements, and I know that many of them will join me in thanking their staff for their inspiring lessons, hard work and support.

"This year we see the highest number of students accessing a place in their first or second choice university, this is due to the exceptional advice and guidance they receive from the team at Sexey’s Sixth Form.
