For the second year running QEHS students have achieved record results in GCSE and equivalent qualifications. Over 74% of students gained 5 or more A*-C grades including English and maths, beating last year's record by 2%. The proportion of entries gaining A* or A grades was also high, beating national averages with 18 students gaining at least 6 A* grades.
The school has been congratulated by senior education officers of Northumberland Council for becoming the highest performing school in the county.
