Principal, Katherine Jeffrey, said “We are incredibly proud of all our students’ successes and it is wonderful to see their excitement today after all their hard work.  We are delighted to hear that so many students have secured places at their first choice universities, to read competitive subjects such as Medicine, History and Engineering.  It is also a tremendous achievement to see so many New Hall students scoring 100% in A Level modules, which we believe is testament to their hard work and the high quality of teaching.”  

Head of Sixth Form, James Alderson, said: “I am delighted to be able to celebrate with our students today. The impressive results achieved are a great reward for the hard work of all students.  We wish them every success in their continued studies and future careers.”
