| Congratulations to all of the 2011 leavers whose superb GCSE grades in August have meant that we have been named as the best in West Sussex for our results. Obviously we are delighted for the girls who achieved such pleasing results alongside all of their other achievements in sport, music, drama and community service. The staff give 100% dedication and their reward is this 100% pass rate. | |
| It is well-researched that girls perform better in single-sex schools particularly in maths and science – this is borne out by our maths pass rate at A* and A which was 61% whereas the comparable figure nationally is 16.5%.However, the tables themselves tell you very little - were they to look at our value added scores the information would be even more impressive and far more useful to parents. A value-added score indicates how the girls have improved between Year 7 and Year 11 and would show that our girls achieve two to three GCSE grades higher than is predicted when they join us. Now that is VERY impressive! |
