The college’s A Level pass rate was 87 per cent – a drop of four per cent from last year - with the pass rate for vocational courses standing at 95 per cent.
Among those to bag top results was 18-year-old Business Studies student, David Meek.
He said: “I got a triple starred distinction and I’ll start a course at the College of West Anglia in King’s Lynn in September. I’m very excited.”
