The Sixth-Form students at the school, located on Sussex Road, Enfield and part of Middlesex Learning Trust, have achieved brilliant results following two years of hard work and determination in preparing for their exams.

The school achieved a positive value added score of +0.18, which means that students have over performed against their target grades; this is up from last year’s figure. Also improved is the amount of students receiving A*-C grades, 78% up from last year’s 75%.
