The new academic year 2008-9 has started positvely with an excellent number of examination and test results. 62% of year 11 students achieved 5 or more A*-C passes in all subjects and 51% of students achieved 5 A*-C passes including English and Maths.
We were delighted that so many students will now progress to the course of their choice at a local Further Education or Sixth Form College.
