"The results show the joint effort from staff and the students. It highlights their commitment to learning and achieving.
"I have come to work at 7.30am to see students walking up the drive to go to extra sessions because they are so determined to achieve.
"That dedication is part of the culture we have created here at Humberston and that is why young people and their parents choose to come here because we are known for success.
"Helping top level students is fantastic but we also help students who are not performing as well to achieve great results too, and that is just as important."
