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

Mr Tolson added: “This year our more able and middle ability pupils outperformed their peers from last year and we have even more pupils with the opportunity to be able to go on to higher level courses at college because of the curriculum we offer.
