Important school information

2008 KS3 National Test Results

The school has received the KS3 national test papers back, however, as you may be aware from what has featured in the media there are issues around the quality of marking. To ensure the validity and integrity of the marking the school will be reviewing the papers. Official results will therefore not be released until the review process has taken place.
