As one of the top secondary schools in Wiltshire, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on the recently validated results your pupils obtained in 2018. It is encouraging to see that you have embraced the challenge of higher standards and that students have advanced more than average between the end of key stage 2 and the end of key stage 4. It's encouraging to note that students did well in up to 8 categories, earning a score of 55.5, and that 61% of them received grades of 5 or higher in arithmetic and English. We recognise that your staff, governors, and students' achievement, dedication, and hard work are what led to these excellent results.
