Everyone is different. Perhaps the most important thing to remember is that Queen Ethelburga's College accepts pupils from a wide range of abilities. We have pupils who will have no difficulty achieving excellent results and others who will have to really apply themselves to achieve the best results of which they are capable.

Even when you take this wide range of ability into account it says something for the professionalism of our graduate teaching staff, combined with our superb resources, that The Sunday Times places us as one of the Top UK Schools for GCSE results. We are in the listing alongside schools which have been highly selective and who only accept the very best and most able academic pupils. This is perhaps the best testimony that the teaching system and the ethos of Queen Ethelburga's College can help all of its students achieve excellent results, well above the national average.
