Academic Reputation
In the school's 2010 public exam results, 73% achieved at least 5 grade A-C GCSEs. The school still attracts many students from many schools both within and outside the catchment area. Many students have the opportunity to take extracurricular GCSE's, including Astronomy, Society Health & Development, Italian and Spanish.
However, students wishing to continue onto sixth form studies must change schools, usually attending establishments in nearby Ely or Cambridge.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or reputation:
“You know lots of criticism is written by characters who are very academic and think it is a sign you are worthless if you make jokes or kid or even clown. I wouldn’t kid Our Lord if he was on the cross. But I would attempt a joke with him if I ran into him chasing the money changers out of the temple.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“It is said that a rogue does not look you in the face, neither does an honest man look at you as if he had his reputation to establish.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
