“This excellent set of results demonstrates the early impact that the changes of leadership at the school has had as well as the additional investment into developing teachers through our CPD initiative. The Year 11 cohort certainly responded well to their revision programmes and their attendance in lessons, right up until and during exam season, will have been a factor in the beginnings of these improved outcomes.”
