Academic Performance
It often gets the best GCSE results in Nottinghamshire (not including Nottingham LEA). However in 2007 it got the joint second best results with Rushcliffe Comprehensive School, narrowly beaten by West Bridgford School.
At A level, it again does very well for a comprehensive school, but fourth in Nottinghamshire LEA, behind two West Bridgford schools and the National School in nearby Hucknall.

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or performance:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“To vote is like the payment of a debt—a duty never to be neglected, if its performance is possible.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
