Higham Lane Sixth form celebrates exceptional A-level results

Higham Lane Sixth Form, which is proud to be the only Ofsted Outstanding secondary school in Nuneaton and Bedworth, is celebrating the best set of A Level results that the school has ever seen, with an even greater number of students achieving the highest grades. The school is delighted to announce that 36.3% of all qualifications were awarded at A*–A and 62.0% of all qualifications were awarded at A*–B, with an average grade of a B-.

These amazing results demonstrate the considerable progress made by Higham Lane's sixth form students over the course of their two years of study. Based on the early data, the school expects once again to be one of the top-performing schools in Warwickshire.

Headteacher Michael Gannon said:

“We are absolutely delighted with these exceptional A-level results and incredibly proud of what our students have achieved. The further rise in the proportion of students achieving A*–A grades is particularly impressive and is testament to the determination, ambition and commitment shown by this year group.

I would also like to give my heartfelt thanks to our amazing teachers and support staff; their expertise, dedication and unwavering support for our students have played such an important part in achieving these outstanding outcomes.

Our thanks also go to the parents and carers of our students; their omnipresent support for the school and, most importantly, for their young people has been invaluable in facilitating these outstanding results.”
