NINETY per cent of Year 11 at Lucton School achieved 5 A* to C grades.

This maintains an average in excess of 90% over the last three years and Lucton’s top students achieved A* grades in more than half of their exams.

“Being a mixed ability school, we are used to variable results, but any school would be proud of these grades,” said head teacher Gill Thorne.

“Again, I am particularly pleased with Lucton’s performance in the sciences.

“We have a 100% pass rate in the separate sciences (Physics, Chemistry and Biology). These are subjects that universities value particularly highly and the statistics are quite remarkable.”

Lucton School pupils achieved excellent value-added scores, with pupils lifting on average, one grade per subject.
