Fantastic news in from Carisbrooke College. Ed
Following significant improvements to GCSE exam results in 2015, Carisbrooke College scooped a major award at the London Guildhall on Tuesday 8th of September.
`The E4Education PiXL Award for achieving outstanding GCSE results in 2015` was accepted on behalf of the school by Headteacher Peter Shaw and Assistant Headteacher Louise Southwell.
Head teacher, Peter Shaw, said,
“Those involved in education will know that PiXL is a national organisation of real significance, working with an enormous number of schools to improve outcomes for young people.
“All of us at Carisbrooke are thrilled that the hard work of our students and staff is now being acknowledged on a wider stage.
“School improvement can be a bit of a roller coaster at times, but I suppose that makes moments like this a bit more special.”
Charles Chapman, Chairman of the Isle of Wight Council, in Carisbrooke this week to meet students, was shown the award during his meeting with student leaders.
Peter Shaw said,
“We have already challenged our current Year 11 cohort and everyone here who works for them to build upon the success of last year so that our upward momentum can be continued.”
