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:
“The 1990s, after the reign of terror of academic vandalism, will be a decade of restoration: restoration of meaning, value, beauty, pleasure, and emotion to art and restoration of art to its audience.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
