School results

GCSE results 2009
Another happy day here at the High School with a staggering 96.5% of all examinations sat being awarded an A* to B grade at GCSE and 86.9% of those at A* or A. Over half the girls achieved A/A* grade in all their subjects with fourteen gaining straight A stars.
The Headmistress, Mrs Martin, was delighted.
"The girls have worked hard and achieved wonderful results. They have laid very firm foundations for future success and I have no doubt that they will go on to great things at A level.
I am sure that the girls would also wish me to mention their parents and their teachers, who did so much to encourage and support them. There is much to celebrate today."

The Headmistress, Mrs Rosemary Martin, was delighted.
"Since arriving at the High School I have been unfailingly impressed by the enthusiasm and determination of all the girls and I am thrilled that their efforts have been so justly rewarded. The girls have laid sound foundations for future success and I shall continue to follow their careers with interest.
However, thanks and congratulations must also go to the teaching staff who work so hard to prepare the girls for these examinations and who have inspired in them a love of learning that will stay with them all their lives. We are indeed fortunate to have such a talented and committed team and I am extremely grateful to them for all that they have done and continue to do."
Many, many congratulations to all our girls!
