STUDENTS and staff at Lymm High School are celebrating as the publication of the official league tables showed that the school has regained top spot in Warrington.
Headteacher Gwyn Williams
Seventy four per cent of students gained the key benchmark of at least 5 A*-C grades including English and Maths, more than any other school in the borough.
The school also saw the best results at A’level, with 53% gaining A*-B grades and 79% A*-C grades and the highest average grade per A’ level entry in Warrington.
Headteacher, Gwyn Williams, said: “There is no complacency about these results. We recognise that, with the wonderful cohort of able and motivated students we have here, we absolutely should be somewhere near the top of these tables. Nevertheless, the results are a confirmation of the fact that the school is in really good shape and we will use the energy this generates to ensure that we continue to go from strength to strength.
“Exam results matter a huge amount in terms of the opportunities they open up, as well as for the confidence that a good set of results can give young people. For this reason, we will never shy away from keeping excellent academic performance at the heart of our vision for a great school. There is a real desire in the school to build on these excellent results over the next couple of years and I have every confidence we can achieve that.
“Staff worked incredibly hard last year to help so many students get over the line and they deserve tremendous credit for that – as, of course, do the students and families themselves. I congratulate all of them wholeheartedly.”
Lymm has now leap-frogged Bridgewater High School to be top of the School League Table in Warrington.
