Upcoming Events when Normal Timetabled Lessons are Suspended
We have a number of events in the coming weeks for which the normal school timetable will be suspended for some year groups or for the whole school. As we have started our new school timetable already, Year 9 and 12 won’t begin their studies until September.
For the remaining year groups, the school timetable will run as normal except on the following days:
- Next Step Conference for Year 13 students (10 June 2015)
- Progression days (including university open days and other progression related activities) for Year 13 students (w/c 22 June 2015)
- Go-Global Day (activities based around the theme of global education) for Year 11 students (8 July 2015)
- Life-skills day for Year 10 students (8 July 2015)
- Activity, trips and visit days (for Year 10 and 11 students) which coincides with transfer day for our upcoming Year 9 students (7 July 2015)
- Whole school charity day (TBC, w/c 13 July 2015)

Exam Results 2018
We are delighted to say that the hard work of our students and staff, and the improvements we have made in teaching and learning over the last four years, has resulted in another set of outstanding GCSE and A Level results. We continue to outperform most state schools in the North East of England and on almost all key measures we have achieved the best results in the school’s history in one of the last two years.
Summary of GCSE, AS Level, A Level and Vocational Subject Grades
The summaries of subject grades is available below:
The summaries indicate the number of students achieving each grade in each subject. These should be read with caution and not used to make comparisons between subjects because the ability levels of the students starting each course will have been different.
