Success and Results
Since the college opened in 1992, numerous students have progressed to read Law at University and work as solicitors and barristers both locally and nationally. The department has an excellent track record as far as results are concerned, with a consistent 99/100% pass rate. High grades are also good, ranging for 60 to 72% at A-C every year. Our value added result (which measures how much students have improved since starting here) has always been excellent when compared with national trends.
