SHAW’S Crompton House school is celebrating the ‘excellent achievements’ of its Class of 2024.
Some 70 per cent of students achieved at least five passes including English and Maths, with more than half achieving strong passes in those subjects.
With more than six out of 10 entered for the English Baccalaureate, 17 per cent of all grades were 7-9 and 76 per cent were 4-9.
Top achievers included Katie Barnett and Katie Elphick, who each earned eight grade nines and two eights.
