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:
“I was so grateful to be independent of the academic establishment. I thought, how awful it would be to have my future hinge on such people and such decisions.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious? I know of many systems of religion esteemed heathenish whose precepts fill the reader with shame, and provoke him to new endeavors, though it be to the performance of rites merely.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
