Academic
The 2006 Ofsted report stated that Teaching and learning are outstanding throughout the school..
In 2005 just under three-quarters of A level entries resulted in grades A or B (excluding General Studies) whilst at GCSE three-quarters of all grades were A* or A, with nearly all pupils gaining 10 passes and five pupils gaining a clean sweep of A* grades. In 2011 the A*-C grade was over 95%, only 1 % below its counterpart Lancaster Girls' Grammar school. Over 90% of students go on to further education and a number gain places at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
