Last year, when 79 per cent of students achieved 5A*-C grades (including maths and English), the school was placed in the top 100 schools nationally for its performance.

In a letter from Minister of State for Schools Nick Gibb, MP Bishop Stopford was praised for its “very high standards of achievement in the GCSE examinations”.

Initial figures in 2016 suggest that 33 students gained eight or more A* or As in their results, and 63 per cent of all grades achieved in the school were A*to B.

Head teacher Margaret Holman said: “We are delighted with these excellent achievements. The results are, once again, testament to hard work and commitment from the students and staff”.
