Although the were successes all round and the A* to C pass rate was 93 per cent it was the boys who took the top positions with A*s and As this year.

Warden Peter Hogan said, “After so much attention on girls out performing boys it is refreshing to see so many boys getting excellent grades. As always it is hard work and good teaching that makes the difference.”
