Brine Leas performs well

The latest Performance Tables have recently been published by the Department for Education and students from Brine Leas School have, once again, performed very well.

At Post 16 the statistics are really good and the value added score shows that last year's students attained a top performance. At KS4 (Key Stage 4), the results are even better and the data shows that students did exceptionally well.

Headline figures include 54% A* to B at 'A' Level with a positive value added score. At GCSE the figure is 74% A* to C grades – with expected progress in English being an eye watering 86% and in Maths 76%.

At present, it is really difficult to compare results over time as there have been so many changes in reporting over the last few years. In terms of putting the results into context, the performance tables have a facility to compare a school to 54 similar schools throughout the country... based on this Brine Leas was 18th and this marks a jump of 17 places from last year.

In Cheshire East the school's results, on whatever comparative measure is used, are amongst the best of any school. We also expect that our final figures, (taking into account all remarked papers) will be even better.

Headteacher Andrew Cliffe commented: "This achievement is against the context of a school that offers a well-rounded education, based upon a strong and thriving House system with an immense range of extra-curricular activities. Staff, students and their families combined in a really strong partnership to achieve these results."
