Message from Mr Nixon
You may be aware that the school had a ‘Maths Subject Inspection’ last term and we were pleased to be judged ‘Good’. The report highlighted that achievement has risen considerably over the last 3 years and the quality of teaching was also good. It’s clearly something that we can build on for the future. In addition, we had excellent A Level results and our best ever GCSE results. The latter, despite the impact of the English grade boundary changes which has been in all the papers.
I mentioned in my statement to the press that the overall GCSE grades of 80% were particularly pleasing given that our curriculum is based on rigours’ GCSE’s. The rise in A*-C’s in English and Maths was also very pleasing. These achievements came about through the hard work of everyone. My thanks to the students, parents, staff and Governors for their contribution.
We welcome the new Year 7’S to our school this year, which as usual, is oversubscribed. There is however, still much to do in order to improve further, so that we continue to improve this year.
Jim Nixon
