2011 GCSE Results
Pupils at Highfields School are celebrating after they achieved a 65 per cent A* to C pass rate.
One of the highlights was a Year 10 pupil gaining an A* in maths a year after she gained an A* in statistics.
Headteacher Mary Haddy, said: “We’re very proud of the pupils and so pleased with the results, which really stand out for themselves.
“There have been some real highlights and we gained 100 per cent A* to C pass rate for English literature, history, ICT, Spanish, physics and music.
“As you can see for such a small establishment, once again we’ve managed to achieve excellent results!”
We are also celebrating a 50 per cent A* to C pass rate for Year 9 pupils taking the RE short course.
