The early entry option for the more-able pupils was introduced three years ago and involves pupils completing their RE GCSE in Year 10 allowing them to study for the AS in Year 11.
Vice-principal Peter Byrne said: “We are all extremely proud of what these pupils have achieved.
“Completing an AS qualification a year early, while studying eleven other subjects and with less curriculum time than they would have at college is quite remarkable and demonstrates the pupils’ hard work and commitment.”
