A-LEVELS: Excellent results at QEGS Alford

The school’s students have consistently gained over 70% of these top grades, which places QEGS Alford amongst the top few schools in the county.

Headteacher, Angie Francis, said: “I congratulate the students on their results and wish them much success and happiness in their future endeavours. These results will open up many exciting opportunities for them. Students continue to make exceptional progress at our school, due in no small part to the high level of support given by staff and the aspirational ethos of the school.”
