Academic Performance
Overall the A levels at the college are fairly low, but many FE colleges do have low results. There are no separate results for the sixth form college, which would be expected to be much better. The best place for A level results in North Tyneside LEA in 2010 was Seaton Burn College, an 11-18 school. Unlike many areas of Tyne and Wear, in North Tyneside there is a good choice of 11-18 schools.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
