In the words of Pope Francis, “Teaching is a beautiful job; as it allows you to see the growth day by day of the people entrusted to your care”. We are truly blessed with such wonderful pupils.

  • Update on BTEC Grading

    Update on BTEC Grading

    Dear Parent/Carer/ Year 11 pupil

    At 16:45 yesterday, Pearson, the examination board responsible for BTEC qualifications, announced that BTEC grades would be reviewed in line with all GCSE and A Level examinations. Initially, they had stated that they believed that BTEC results were not affected by the wider changes to GCSE and A Level grades however we, like many other schools had disputed this assertion. While this uncertainty is totally unacceptable, we are pleased that our pupils should now get the results that reflect their ability and potential.
