First of all, welcome back to all staff and pupils for the new academic year.  It is great to see everyone looking so smart and ready to make a good start. 

I will be writing to parents early next week to give the final GCSE results, as currently one or two subjects are in the process of being re-evaluated by the board and may be upgraded.  Currently though, our overall figure for 5A*-C grades is 86.0% and the figure including English and Mathematics is 80.7%.  These are very pleasing for a school that is non-selective academically and also when it is borne in mind that these figures are for academic GCSEs, and not the vocational subjects some schools use in their figures.

These results indicate a lot of hard work from the leavers and staff and I would like to thank all the teachers, on behalf of our last year’s Year 11, for that.
