Barnhill is once again celebrating an outstanding set of A Level and Applied results, with student achievement placing the school among the top 20% nationally for progress.

This year, an impressive 61% of A Level grades were awarded at A*–B, with 87% achieving A*–C, continuing Barnhill’s strong record of performance significantly above national averages.
