In January 2016, we were named as the highest performing school in the five Tees Valley authorities for valued added, and among the top 5% nationally. The percentage of students achieving C+ in English and maths rose again to 78% in 2016, and to 85% (at 4+) the following year. In 2017, at 75% students achieved the highest percentage of 5+ grades in both English and maths in the North East, and were second for Attainment 8 too.
