Pre-A level results
Our Pre-A level students follow a diverse programme, taking a variety of courses including the core subjects of Maths, English and Science. Among those students, a small number of candidates sit the GCSE public exams after one year of study, with the following results: 39% of all entries were GCSE passes. 27% of all GCSE grades were in the range of A* to B and 14% of all passes were either A* or A.

Achieve 2 grades higher

Our students learn crucial study skills like speed reading, creative thinking, recall and memory enhancement.

These special methods of boosting the brain’s power help to explain our proven record of adding tremendous value to students’ results – a number of our students achieve exam results two grades higher than expectation, measured against nationally-standardised baseline assessments.

After years of experience and a track record of academic success, we are confident in claiming that our teaching methods:

  • improve reading speed by 40%
  • improve memory by 40%
  • improve reading recall by 40%
  • enhance creative thinking by a massive 200%

*The Advanced Level Information System (ALIS) provides performance indicators for post-16 students across all sectors of education and includes analysis of A level, AS level, Applied A-Levels, BTEC National and International Baccalaureate Examinations. ALIS is the original member of the family of value-added monitoring systems run at the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) at Durham University.  It has grown from only 12 schools in the northeast of England in 1983 to cover over a third of all A-Level entries in the UK and international schools sitting UK exams in this present year.
