We believe solid GCSE results establish the foundations for further education and career opportunities and we look forward to welcoming our current and new students into the Sixth Form when the term starts in September.
Over the past decade, St. Dominic’s girls have all been accepted into their chosen university – a legacy our current students are working towards.”
Headteacher of Alleyne’s, Karen Lockett, said: “This year’s GCSEs results have increased by 12% and are the best ever results.
