[edit] Exam success
Although Grimsby and Cleethorpes schools have a poor record at GCSE, the college gets some of the best A level results for state schools in the whole of the Yorkshire & Humber region, and the best in the area formerly known as Humberside. To get into the college, you must get adequate grades at GCSE; the college has a strenuous admissions policy, accepting only the 'right' sort.
