We are very proud of our students and their achievements. Examination results in A Levels are consistently outstanding; in 2022, in A Levels, 39 courses achieved a 100 per cent pass rate.
International students have progressed to Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Durham and to many other top universities and conservatoires, including those outside the UK such as Harvard University and the University of Hong Kong.
Our English Language Plus courses now run all year round with no half term breaks so students can join at most times of year.
We understand that as well as enjoying the course, students are looking to make friends and fully experience life in the UK. That is why we do regular trips to places like Cambridge and Thorpe Park theme park so students can be together whilst enjoying a fun activity.
