In the 1990s, around 20% were gaining five good GCSES.
In 2005 when 10% of those taking taking GCSEs gained 5 good grades, including Maths and English, this was the 34th lowest result in England, and the lowest in Essex LEA (one in nearby Thurrock LEA was lower - former Essex). In 2003 it was 11th lowest in England.
