RESULTS!
I hope everyone had a great summer break and have settled well into the new term!

I am delighted to be able to report that once again, the GCSE and A level examination results showed significant improvements, making this the fourth year in succession they have risen.  We send out hearty congratulations to all of our students who have worked extremely hard for their exams.  Students in years 9, 10 and 11 took exams this year- we even had one student in Year 8 take an examination getting a grade A!

Our analysis so far indicates that our English Results are up ten percent to 58% A* to C grades.  The number students attaining 5 or more A* to C’s is 60% which meets our challenge target. 

Our overall pass rate was 97.3% which is very impressive – well done to all!

We were also delighted with our overall A level pass rate which also went up a further 10% overall  for our students who have 2 or more passes.  This means that over 100 of our students have the qualifications to go on to university.

Uniform
A big thankyou to all parents for your support by sending your children in full school uniform this term.  It really gets the year off to a good start.  Please remember full uniform is compulsory and we are rigorously monitoring uniform including the length of skirts for girls.  Please remember we reserve the right to send home students for incorrect uniform.

Admissions
Please note that the Local Authority has taken over the casual admissions process and it is not so easy to approach a school on the chance that it has a place to offer your child.  This means that parents may have to be referred to the Kent Local Authority before a place can be found.  Please refer to the web link below for further information.  You can of course contact us first, but we have to refer you back to the Local Authority.
