The Report on the 2007 Examination Results for the Specialist Schools & Academies Trust, under the title ‘Data Driven School Transformation' identifies Tollbar as one of the 36 schools in the nation which have gained ‘membership' of all three of the Trust's High Performing Schools' ‘Clubs'. These are The Most Improved; Highest Value-added for 5+ A*-C including English & Maths; and The High-Performers Celebration Group.
Tollbar obtained the awards due to its outstanding GCSE results, which saw 76% of its students achieve 5 "A* to C" grades, including English and Maths.
The college has also recently recorded an outstanding Ofsted Inspection, enabling the college, which already specialises in business and enterprise and humanities, to apply for a further specialism.
Principal, David Hampson (pictured) said: "This is a wonderful achievement for a true comprehensive school. There are just 36 schools from across the nation in all three of these elite 'clubs' and it is very gratifying to see Tollbar among them. We have shown that we can compete with the best in the country and I'm immensely proud of everyone connected with the college."
