SCHOOL ‘LEAGUE TABLES’: A-level aces impress to make the grade
NEW statistics and ‘league tables’ have revealed that students at the three main schools in Hucknall and Bulwell made big strides in A-level results last summer.
Both National Church Of England Academy and Holgate Comprehensive in Hucknall saw the average number of points achieved per pupil leap considerably.
