Academic Performance
Students can study for GCSE, BTEC or A level qualifications. Although the school is improved from what it was, it still gets low GCSE results, barely above the national minimum, but about average for Doncaster LEA. The results at A Level are even lower. The Hungerhill School down the road (A18) in nearby Edenthorpe gets respectable GCSE results just over the national average, but has no sixth form. Only five of Doncaster's seventeen secondary schools get GCSE results over the national average, and the LEA wants six schools to become academies. Barnsley LEA also has low results.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“Being in a family is like being in a play. Each birth order position is like a different part in a play, with distinct and separate characteristics for each part. Therefore, if one sibling has already filled a part, such as the good child, other siblings may feel they have to find other parts to play, such as rebellious child, academic child, athletic child, social child, and so on.”
—Jane Nelson (20th century)
“Kind are her answers,
But her performance keeps no day;
Breaks time, as dancers,
From their own music when they stray.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
