Overall, nine in ten entries were graded at C or above, with an overall pass rate of 100%. Students studying applied and vocational courses gained the highest points per pupil on record, achieving an average grade of Distinction.

There has also been a continuing increase in students moving onto high-quality degree-level apprenticeships in areas such as engineering, accountancy and law, at organisations such as Laing O’Rourke, Jaguar Land Rover and Sellafield.
