Outstanding Record Breaking GCSE History Results!

A huge congratulations and well done goes to ALL my Year 12 pupils on their excellent GCSE results!

Their hard work, commitment and sweats of perspiration all paid off and produced an outstanding set of results.

The pupils achieved a 100% pass-rate at A*-C with 70% of the class receiving an A* or A grade!  ALL Higher Tier pupils achieved either an A* or A and all Foundation Tier pupils achieved the coveted C grade.

To all my Year 11 and 12 pupils remember that: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration!

Well done

Mrs Reid
