We are delighted to celebrate another year of outstanding A Level success, with 40% of all grades at A*/A or above and over 72% at B or higher. More than a quarter of our pupils achieved at least one A*, and over 60% secured at least one A. Highlights include 10 pupils gaining a clean sweep of A*s and 41 pupils achieving AAA or better — a testament to the dedication, talent, and hard work of our pupils and staff. In terms of next steps, just under three quarters of pupils will be off to their first or second university choices including 10 to Oxbridge, 4 Medics/Dentistry and an exciting range of research intensive, competitive higher educational institutions, conservatoires and Art colleges, both at home and abroad. Congratulations to all!

Our curriculum is rooted in the unifying task of forming Oratorians through the course of all the three stages of our school: In the Junior House, in the Senior School and in the Sixth Form.
We see the identification, pursuit and celebration of what are called the ‘Cardinal’ Virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude as a central part of what we strive to offer so as to harness Saint John Henry’s educational vision and make it our own.
