Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome back to a new academic year! As term started, it was great to see all of our students back in school
learning and developing.

During the summer we were overjoyed with our A Level results. Three years ago, our Sixth Form achieved in
the top 15% of all (private, state and grammar) schools nationally, then in 2018 we were in the top 10%.
Achieving in the top 10% is officially described as ‘outstanding’. Being a top performer in anything (whether a
sports team, a business or a school) is a difficult thing to maintain, so it was brilliant to see how well our
students achieved in 2019: ​once again, Uckfield College is in the top 10% of all private, state and
grammar schools nationally. P​ lease follow this link (A​ Level results​) to read more about our excellent A level
students and what they have achieved.

We were also delighted with how well so many of our GCSE students performed. We are very pleased that our
headline figure of the percentage of students who achieved a Grade 9-4 (what used to be A*-C) in English and
Maths rose to 75%. We were particularly pleased that a greater number of students achieved or exceeded their
target grades than the previous year, which reflects how many students realised their full potential. Please
follow this link (G​ CSE results​) to read more about our students’ successes.

Warmest regards

Hugh Hennebry
Principal
