School one of the most improved

A school has been named one of the most improved in the country.

William Bradford Community College, Earl Shilton, was congratulated at an event organised by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust.

At William Bradford, the number of students gaining five or more GCSEs at A* to C grades, including English and maths, has improved by 22 per cent since 2008.

The percentage of students gaining any five or more GCSEs at grades A* to C is 40 per cent better than in 2010.

Principal Caroline Churchill attended an event in London.

She said: "This year, 89 per cent of our students gained five good passes – A* to C – at GCSE.

"We are exceptionally proud of these young people.

"At William Bradford, we know how important good results are for students and we have been building a tradition of high achievement at the college for a number of years.

"There is now a vibrant learning culture at the college.

"This year's results are a realisation of the academic potential of students who enrol."
