The girls’ secondary has been given six awards by the Schools, Students and Teachers network for last year’s “outstanding” key stage 4 and 5 results.

“These awards bring cheer to our pupils and staff during these unprecedented times,” Central Foundation’s headteacher Esther Holland said. “We have been recognised among the top secondary schools through the hard work of students, teachers, staff and parents.”

The Educational Outcome awards, based on 2019 data from the Department for Education and Ofsted, puts the school among the “best performing non-selective” secondaries for being in the top 10 per cent nationally for attainment in applied general subjects, being in the government’s top band for progress and for general achievement and high performance.
