Hooray! Telford school is on top form
Pupils at a Telford school are celebrating after being ranked among the top in the country for their progress.
Hadley Learning Community has been ranked fourth in the country for its students’ progress when measured against similar schools, the latest government figures have revealed.
Staff said they were “incredibly proud” of their pupils after it was also named the best non-selective school in the Telford & Wrekin borough.
Progress measures how pupils have developed between the end of key stage 2 and the end of key stage 4. Hadley Learning Community scored 0.64 in the figures, which places it well above the national average.
A total of 156 pupils reached the end of key stage 4, with about 90 per cent expected to stay in education or go into employment.
Paul Roberts, principal at Hadley Learning Community, said: “The dedication and maturity students have shown throughout their time at school has been complimented by a teaching staff who are relentless in making sure each and every child fulfils their potential.
"We are so incredibly proud of our students for their achievements. To be positioned as the best non-selective local authority school is a true reflection of the hard work by all. In addition, to be placed fourth in the country for progress against similar context schools is truly outstanding.”
“I would like to thank the students, staff and parents for their support in driving our students to such amazing outcomes.”
Other successful schools within Telford & Wrekin included Newport Girls’ High School Academy, Thomas Telford School and Holy Trinity School in Teece Drive.
