It has been a remarkable year for GCSE results.

Principal of the Brigg school Nicola Williams said 72 percent of students achieved five A* to Cs, including maths and English, up 9 percent on last year’s “excellent” results.

Progress levels were also high at St Bernard’s Grammar School, as 60 per cent of students achieved an A* or A grade. I really enjoy playing hockey as I’m with my friends and it’s time off from doing really hard academic work. “I found out about the Nottingham Youth Orchestra through the music department and have been on tour with the school to Venice too so there are fantastic opportunities here”.

Linda Rodham, headteacher, said: “I would like to congratulate all of our students who are once again a credit to themselves and the school”.

“As these stories testify, all that they have done academically sits alongside some wonderful extra-curricular achievements, which is certainly one of the great strengths of our school”.

With an increase of 2.2% on previous year, the percentage achieving the English Baccalaureate is 29.4% for 2016 compared to 27.2% in 2015.

Chairman of governors, Sue Saiger, said: “Everyone in our community, from parents, governors to staff would again like to say how pleased we are with the results achieved by our students”. Trent enables me to have very broad horizons and invest my time into lots of different areas.
