Current Status
West Buckland leads the North Devon schools examination league table. On 30 August 2008 the Western Morning News reported the school's best ever GCSE results and produced a table placing the school sixth out of the twenty-one independent schools in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset on the basis of points per candidate. The paper also reported A level results in August 2008 as "impressive", noting that over 70% of students achieved 'A' or 'B' grades.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“If the current is right, one can drift to success.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
