It's a great success. You would expect higher standards - AS-levels means that you will add another filtering system, allowing people to try a subject for a year and then drop it. 'You've also got the background of teaching getting better. Inefficient small six forms have gone and now we've got cracking sixth-form colleges. I would expect a rising level of achievement, he added."
