Both schools form part of The East Northamptonshire College.
TENC director Elaine Brooker said: “Our college achieves great results year on year and these league table positions are testament to the hard work all the students and staff put in.
“At TENC we aim to offer the broadest range of A Level and Vocational qualifications that we possibly can, as we want all Year 11 pupils from our three partners schools to continue their learning with us and to know that whatever their ambition we will help them to achieve it.”
