The school gets well-above-average results at GCSE, and standards at both GCE AS and A level are above average according to Ofsted. The school is twinned with the Gymnasium Melle, and there are annual joint exchanges with their windband, with a bi-annual concert being held at John Port School. The friendship of the schools arose out of the twinning arranged by the mayor of Osnabruck.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
