“Excellent A-level and vocational course grades are greatly sought and the college has become adept at delivering these results. While the standard for achieving high grades appears to increase from year to year, students at Midhurst Rother College continue to excel in these demanding examinations.

“Once again, a good number of Midhurst students have secured places at top universities, including those in the Russell Group. This year students have also secured high level employment following their studies at Midhurst.

“The dedication of teachers, the strong work ethic of students and the nurturing environment of the college shows what can be achieved. These results are a deserved reward for great efforts.

“The college’s unstinting sixth form provision gives students the confidence to know that they can go on to terrific opportunities in the future.

“These results are a pleasing way for me to start signing off as principal. However, the most important thing is they represent yet another endorsement of the college’s growing reputation as a sixth form provider of the highest quality.”
