Staff at Teesdale School are delighted with the A level
results achieved by their students with performance exceeding both the national
average and the school's results from 2011.
Teesdale students achieved an average points score of 769
QCA points per student, which is 36 points above the national average, and an
improvement of 61 points per student from last year.
Co-Principal Simon Maguire commented, 'It's fantastic that
so many of our students have performed so well and this is a just reward for
the huge amount of work that both the teaching staff and students have
undertaken over the past two years. We
wish these students well as they embark on the next stage of their learning and
we look forward to building upon this success with our new Sixth Formers from
September.'
