GCSE Results - August 2012
This year our students have produced a stunning set of GCSE results, completely smashing all previous school records.
“85% of the grades were C or above, almost 80% of the cohort achieved five or more higher grades, and over two-thirds achieved five or more higher grades including English and Maths. In just the core subjects of English, Maths and Science there were over one hundred A* grades. It is a fitting tribute to the hard work of the students and their teachers over many years, in both their primary and secondary school.
. . . . continue reading below the pictures to see the whole-school results and top individual grades.
