Students achieved an average UCAS point score of 300 which means that students achieved an average of grades BBB overall. Over 10% of students achieved three or more A or A* grades.

Students who sat the Cambridge Pre-U courses achieved exceptional results and guaranteed themselves places in the top universities of the Russell group. Students sat the Pre-U examinations in a range of subjects, including History and Economics. The qualification allows students to achieve grades above the A* grade available at A level. Most of these students achieved above a B grade.

Eleven students achieved three or more A and A* grades. This included Ryan Kirby, who took a combination of A Level and Pre-U courses and is going to study Economics at LSE, Sam Presley, who took A Levels and is going to Exeter to study Engineering, Peter Munton, who is going to Imperial College to study Chemistry, Emily Hill, who is going to study English Literature at University of York, Jolene Cook, who is going to study Geology at Bristol University, Amy Boalch, who is taking a Gap year, Jon Harvey, who is going to study Zoology at Sheffield University, Dan Smith, who is going to study Politics and International Relations at University of Reading, Daisy-May Chivers-Black, who is going to study English at the University of Exeter and Evelyn Killey, who is going to study Environmental Science at the University of Southampton. The strongest set of results came from Amy Boalch, who scored four A* grades.

Other successes include Bregeta Bond who has won a place on the highly competitive Film and TV production course at the University of Westminster, following her success in the recent British Film Institute awards, and Syd Bull, who has secured a place to study Music Technology and Sonic Arts at Queen's University, Belfast.

Of the 157 students, over 75% are going into Higher Education. Universities attracting Midsomer Norton Sixth Form students include Imperial College, LSE, Bristol, Exeter, Plymouth, Reading, York, Southampton, Belfast, Portsmouth, Birmingham and Bath.

Headteacher, Peter Beaven, said: "I am delighted that the A Level results have, yet again, been so strong this year. It is especially pleasing that whilst the national figures show a drop in A* and A grades, our students actually increased the number of top grades achieved. It is heartening to see our students achieving the grades they need to successfully take their next step, whether that be into Higher Education, employment or training.

"This has been a marvellous first year for the Midsomer Norton Sixth Form and demonstrates that the decision to combine the Sixth Forms of Norton Hill and Somervale was the right decision to make."
