SCHOOL CELEBRATES EXAM SUCCESS
September 4, 2008 12:00 AM
Pupils and teachers at Walbottle Campus are celebrating after recording excellent A-level and GCSE results.
Earlier this year the school was threatened with closure by the Government unless results improved.
Students gaining five or more A* to C GCSEs, including maths and English, rose by 8% to 35% - three years ahead of the Government's schedule of 30%.
The number of students achieving five or more passes at A* to C overall rose by 13% to 63%.
Meanwhile at A-level twice as many students got A or B grades than in 2007.
Councillor Mike Curthoys says: "I congratulate pupils, parents and staff.
"These have been an excellent set of exam results and is testament to everyone's hard work.
"Walbottle is a good school and the new £35m building will raise achievement even higher."
