 On Tuesday I attended a conference in Westminster. The theme was how to secure more places in the top universities for pupils from comprehensive schools, especially those serving relatively disadvantaged communities.
Speakers at the conference, including distinguished academics and the Minister of State for Higher Education and Intellectual Property, made reference to the need to encourage pupils to pursue GCSE courses in separate sciences and languages. Many of you will already realise that we have made clear our commitment to these approaches in order that our pupils have the very best chance of proceeding into higher education. |

 Progress is rapid - two weeks into the build and the consolidation of the ground has begun - the field has never been so flat! Some drains have also been installed to carry away rain water. Although there are several very large construction machines on site disruption has been minimal. Some more photographs below.

During the half-term break A P Thompson began work on our new 3g pitch which is due for completion in June 2010. Over the period of 16 weeks workers will be on the school site constructing the pitch and landscaping the surrounding area to ensure it has a minimal effect on our neighbours. An update of progress will be available on this website each week. |

Thomas Barber, who left us in 2008, has gained a place at Pembroke College, Oxford, where he is going to study jurisprudence (law). Thomas’s success will come as no surprise to those who remember him. Not only was he head boy and a very prominent member of our debating team but he also managed to gain 8.5A*, 2A and 1C grades in his GCSE examinations and grade A in AS ICT. Thomas made a fantastic contribution to the life of the school and was always a tremendous ambassador for Archbishop Lanfranc. He is currently completing his “A” level studies at Wilson’s School. We wish him all the very best with his Oxford experience and feel absolutely confident this will lead to a glittering career. We are always very pleased to hear of the success of our former pupils and would be delighted if the website prompted a flurry of further good news stories. |
