The
Steiner Academy Hereford: `One of the best schools in the country`.
The Steiner Academy Hereford
(SAH) has received national recognition for the proportion of top
grades achieved by its pupils in the 2011 GCSE examinations.
SAH qualified as one of the top
10% of non-selective schools in England where at least 19% of
students gained 5A*-A grades including English and Maths in 2011.
Every school in the country has
been ranked according to how well they performed in their GCSE
results in 2011 in new rankings released by SSAT, the representative
body for schools.
The new rankings, calculated by
SSAT using official data, raise the bar for schools by only counting
the school's performance at the highest grades - A*-A – reflecting
schools' desire to achieve the very best results for their students.
Sue Williamson, Chief Executive
of SSAT said:
`Steiner Academy Hereford
should be congratulated for their stunning achievement in securing
some of the best GCSE results in the country. Steiner Academy
Hereford has proved itself to be one of the best schools in the
country at securing superb GCSE outcomes for their students. There is
plenty that other schools could learn from Steiner Academy Hereford’s
success.
`These results are testament to
the commitment and hard work of the students, teachers and leadership
team at Steiner Academy Hereford and a vindication of their belief in
high expectations, good teaching and ambition for every young person`
This
follows on from the similar success of the Edinburgh
Steiner School reported here last year.
