2023 Qualification Summary
Our thanks to parents who drew our attention to a recent opinion piece in the media that used incorrect university entrance data to report what your sons achieved academically in 2023. As the School offers a dual qualification pathway, our actual achievement rates are often misrepresented in a number of public domains. Given this, you may find a further copy of the School’s reported 2023 achievement data useful.
