Academic Reputation
In the school's 2010 public exam results, 73% achieved at least 5 grade A-C GCSEs. The school still attracts many students from many schools both within and outside the catchment area. Many students have the opportunity to take extracurricular GCSE's, including Astronomy, Society Health & Development, Italian and Spanish.
However, students wishing to continue onto sixth form studies must change schools, usually attending establishments in nearby Ely or Cambridge.
