The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School is celebrating being named Comprehensive School of the Year 2014, the second year in a row that the school has won the award.

Ranked first place in the prestigious Sunday Times Parent Power Guide, Cardinal Vaughan’s impressive results at both GCSE and A-Level are the highest they’ve been in the School’s one hundred year history, with ten pupils obtaining a place at Oxbridge each year.

Headmaster Paul Stubbings said: 'Obviously, I’m delighted and especially pleased that the efforts of our wonderful staff and pupils have been so spectacularly rewarded.'

In the week that the school received the award Bishop John Sherrington attended and presented prizes to students at the Speech Day where he addressed the whole school. In the centenary year for the school, he thanked the Governing Body, the Headmaster, and the staff 'for the many ways in which you make this an outstanding school with a strong Catholic identity'.
