Pupils are increasingly successful in gaining first choice places on some excellent degree courses, with a good number leaving for Oxbridge, the Russell Group and the Times Top 20 universities each year. In today’s competitive climate, universities are seeking evidence of intellectual appetite as well as top grades in public examinations. At Denstone, we offer an excellent programme of extension and enrichment aimed at honing these super curricular-skills. Our all-round education caters for all abilities however and the College has an impressive track record for value – added performance at GCSE as measured by Yellis. This means that pupils have typically achieved close to a whole grade higher in all subjects compared to their Yellis target. The College also achieved an ‘Excellent’ rating for the quality of pupils' academic and other achievements (November 2017).
