Academics
In 2010 the A Level results were 100% pass with 71% at A*-B, putting the school at number 98 in the Daily Mail State School League table
The GCSE results were 97.4% of students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grade C or above (89.4% including English and Maths). 51% of grades were A* and A putting the school at 128 in the Daily Mail rankings. However, this is a non-selective school so the comparisons may be questioned as many of the schools higher in the table select on ability.
Truancy (unauthorised absences) are below the national average at 0.30%. The Surrey average is higher at 1.0%; whilst the national average is 1.1%.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
