Looking forward to a bright future and further progress

Challenge was met with increased effort. Setbacks were met with resilience. Feedback was sought out and acted upon.

In short, the 2017 cohort of Hetton School quickly embraced our ‘Learn to Achieve’ philosophy.

It is perhaps no surprise therefore that there were some fantastic individual results from students, or that Hetton School’s results have taken a leap forward from previous years.

The percentage of students achieving a good grade in English and Mathematic­s has risen to 61% (up 9% from 2016 and 18% from 2015).

When we include other subjects, the figure is up 21% in the last two years.

“I am incredibly proud of the 100% effort from each and every one of our students.

“They absolutely deserve the individual success this has brought them and I wish them all the very best.

“I would also like to thank our fantastic staff. They have battled through a change in working environmen­t, change in leadership, change in specificat­ions and change in accountabi­lity to help our students through to the great results we have achieved as a school.

“With our bright future now settled and assured, all our students can confidentl­y look forward to making substantia­l progress.”
