Just seen a senior teacher from our local school beaming from ear-to-ear after seeing this year's "A" level results.I've not seen the official results yet, but it looks to me like The Deepings Comprehensive has done the business yet again.
More later, but meantime, congratulations to all the students and staff led by Head Teacher Chris Beckett.
And don't believe a word of the poppycock from the ejits who claim that year-on-year improvements in results are because the exams have become easier.
The simple reason results are consistently getting better is that standards of teaching have improved vastly since I went to school. Education today is much more focussed on individual needs - and resources have been increased out of all recognition to even a couple of decades ago.
As a result, I believe children work far harder than in my day and have much better chances of being pushed to achieve their potential.
That has to be worth celebrating, doesn't it?
