We are so ecstatic! 

In a year that has seen much uncertainty within our communities, Preston Manor staff are brimming with absolute pride to see their Sixth Form students flying high once again with their outstanding A level results.

Sixth Form students, with their teachers' support, have worked incredibly hard  and have been incredibly resilient in ensuring they performed as well as possible in the assessments which were used to evidence their grades.  All grades were checked by the school and exam board to ensure their accuracy, which has been a monumental task!
