JAGS has just been informed by Edexcel that seven of its pupils were among the top ten pupils achieving the highest marks at GCSE in several individual subjects. Many congratulations to Eliza Chubb, Natalie Plowman, Leonie Rae Gasson, Bella Shields and Ayesha Williams took five of the top ten places in the country in Italian! Well done, too, for being in the top ten to Gill Britton in History and Laetitia Ward in Russian.

JAGS joined the boycott of the August newspaper “League Tables” as we believe education is about a wealth of things: music, sport, art, community action, learning for its own sake over and above the syllabus; it is not just about examinations. League tables comparing selective and non-selective schools, boarding and day, small and large, and those doing different sorts of exams, and putting them in rank order are fairly meaningless.
