Students at Hurstpierpoint College are this morning celebrating superb A level results that, stated Headmaster Tim Manly, "look like matching or exceeding the best in the history of the school.  Two things make this particularly pleasing for me, personally. First, they joined the College at the same time as I did. We have been together through a great deal over the last five years. Second, they are the largest number of pupils which the school has had sitting A2 exams and for them to have achieved so well is an excellent reflection on not just their academic talent, but also their qualities and personalities. They have been a lovely group of pupils. Not only have they achieved great things academically, but they have really enriched the life of the College, and each other, through their other activities and their sense of community. Undoubtedly, some have faltered along the way, but it has been good to see how they have recovered from their GCSEs and produced the results necessary to go on to the university of their choice."

"I also hope that we have prepared them well for whatever the future may bring them. They now have some good results behind them, but also I hope that they have developed as individuals in such a way that they will be able to make a success of their lives and be happy in what they do.  It is vital that we enable our pupils to achieve the very best that they can academically, but it is just as important that we equip them properly for the world ahead of them. And, we take great pride here in how these pupils have developed as individuals and the fact that these results have been achieved without culling out numbers of pupils after GCSE or importing pupils from further afield, at the expense of those already here. So, I congratulate all the pupils and staff, as well as their parents, on what has been achieved by this very special year group, in so many ways.”
