The first set of students to sit their GCSE exams at the newly formed Kingsway Park High School were delighted as they collected their results today (25 August).

The school, which is a merger of Springhill High School and Balderstone Technology School, opened its doors in September 2010. The school has operated on a ‘split site’ basis for the past school year and today saw two year 11 year groups come together to collect their grades.

Kingsway Park High School head teacher, Deborah Ball, said: “Thirty-seven per cent got 5 A*- C grades including Maths and English. The results are a real credit to the students and it is very exciting for them.”

Ms Ball continued: “It is a great foundation to build on. I’m really pleased.”

She said: “I’m really happy, I feel really good. I did better than I thought I would.”
