Headteacher at the Yewlands Drive school, Piers Tolson, said: “I am delighted for our hard working pupils who have achieved better rates of progress across our broad range of GCSE subjects.
“Again there have been increases in grade boundaries by exam boards to make GCSE’s tougher and I am proud of how our pupils have stepped up to the challenge.”
