Bright Start for Beacon School

The atmosphere was very up-beat at the beginning of term at Bottisham Village College as it began its first year as a Beacon School. Beacon Schools are schools which have been recognised by the government for very good all-round performance and which are encouraged to share some of their good ideas with other schools around the country.

Teachers and pupils were delighted by the record beating GCSE examination results this year, 69% of pupils passing 5 GCSE subjects at the higher grades and real success being shown at all levels of ability and across all departments of the school. Deborah Harward from Bottisham achieved outstanding success, scoring 9 A* grades and 1 A, and a number of pupils achieved straight A grades across all subjects,

During the summer break, the college has benefited from extensive refurbishment to the computer rooms and a complete re-fit in Food Technology.

The stage is set for another good year.
