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 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)
“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)
