Pupils, staff and visitors witnessed the cutting of the turf and we were delighted to be joined by representatives from the Council and Balfour Beatty (our contractors).

GCSE Results 2009
Another record broken!!!!!
Once again the summer GCSE results showed some outstanding performances both individually and across subject areas. 47% of pupils achieved 5+ higher grades (A*-C) including English and Maths (just below the national average). 59% of all pupils achieved 5+ higher grades with 100% A* - C grades (or equivalent) in BTEC Sport, Statistics, Music and CIDA (ICT).
Achievement across the ability range was OUTSTANDING with 99% of all pupils achieving 5+ A* - G grades and every single pupil achieved some form of qualification. This is a remarkable level of pupil achievement particularly when the starting points for some pupils are taken into consideration. Click here for a summary of the KS4 results.
