GCSE results this year were the best they have been in recent history in our department by a long way. For the first time, Geography has (arguably) outperformed most subjects in the school. Some reflections on what might have made the difference with this cohort. THREAD:

@Scriblit Saw this and thought of you @rossettPE - whilst so many girls have clearly suffered substandard PE experiences there’s you helping so many girls to have a chance to love sport. You produced @RachelDaly3 and all those who don’t get to play for England are just as important #proud

Amazing heraldry efforts at open day today from our visitors. They’re clearly a great bunch!
