Rendcomb College are celebrating a 'strong set of results' following an unprecedented academic year.

The college say they are proud of the class of 2020, with 84 per cent of students achieving grades A*-C, with 47 per cent getting A*-A.

Rob Jones, head of college said: "It is fair to say that this has been a year like no other in the history of education.

"Our founder Noel Wills would be incredibly proud of what our students have achieved in this, our centenary year.

"Students have risen to the challenge and demonstrated great resilience and drive, something that we encourage them to develop at Rendcomb College, and will benefit them long into the future. I am very proud of all of them.

"Small classes, dedicated teaching staff, and remote support have enabled us to focus on the individual and bring out the best in them.

"It has also meant that we can be very confident in our assessment and tracking of their progress, and this has, on the whole, been reflected in their grades."

Students have had particularly strong results in English, history, computing and geography, plus an incredible 100 per cent distinction rate in BTEC business studies, the equivalent of an A.
