Pass rate: 100%

"Whilst we only have a few results to share this year, we are so proud of the learners’ achievements and want to celebrate with them. Of the students that took A and AS Levels, two of the three had spent a number of years prior to joining us at Gretton out of school due to high levels of anxiety. Given this, the fact that they have been able to sit examinations at all is wonderful and the results demonstrate their hard work and commitment.  I couldn’t be prouder of them."

- Mrs Elkins, Headteacher
