We would like to congratulate Year 10 and Year 11 learners who received examination results today. Our learners have done fantastically well and we're really proud of their achievements. #ResultsDay22 #StriveBelieveAchieve #TeamACS

An unbelievable set of results in the department today in both Year 10 and 11, with some A*’s thrown in for good measure. Very proud of our pupils and we look forward to welcoming many of you back to study A-Level’s in our department. #bestinthebusiness

Another fantastic set of results from our Year 13 pupils. Very pleasing to see so many pupils go on to study Computing related degrees at university or apprenticeships in the field. Well Done and Congratulations to all.

Congratulations to our Year 13 Winner Tristan. He has excelled in the department throughout GCSE and A-Level and is off to study Computer Science at @CompScienceCU . A fantastic choice we must say. We wish you all the best @MrHillsACS @MrJJonesCS @SixthFormACS

Met another teacher this week who didn’t know the ad-free YouTube trick so just in case others haven’t heard… put a dash between the ‘t’ and ‘U’ of YouTube and you’ll load up the video without any ads.
