Laura Mayne has been offered a place to read English Literature at
“I’m delighted I’ve got this far”, said Laura on hearing the news, “but now I’ve got to get started on the 4-page reading list!”
Laura is in her gap year and is currently working at the College as one of our Student Voice Coordinators.
League Tables Published
This week sees the League Tables published for the 2009 GCSE and A-Level results. We are very happy to say that we have hit for the first time the 1000 value-added score benchmark for our GCSE results. Our CVA score of 1000.1 means that we have successfully ensured that last year’s Y11 achieved above expectations. This score measures how far a student progresses from the end of their time at primary school right through to GCSE.
For A-Level we gained an even better score of 1009. A magnificent achievement for all students in last year’s Y13.
All of this adds to the continuing trend of improvement at the College – it is wonderful to see the efforts of all concerned achieving success. Even the Secretary of State, Ed Balls MP, has written to the College to congratulate everyone on the ‘outstanding improvement’ demonstrated by the progress the College has made.
Despite the snow, this makes for an excellent start to 2010!
