Gunnersbury Catholic School in West London have been confirmed by the recently published Department for Education performance tables as the leading boys’ comprehensive school in the country. In the public examinations, 90% of Gunnersbury boys attained five or more GCSEs at grades A*-C including English and Mathematics.. Headteacher Kevin Burke commented, ‘These results are a testament to the hard work, endeavour and ambition of our students. As headteacher I am humbled by the efforts of our staff that have enabled such fantastic learning to take place within our school. It is certainly not hyperbole to state that both pupils and staff are a credit to our Catholic Community.’
To add to the joy Gunnersbury Catholic School has recently received a letter from the right honourable Nick Gibb MP, Minister of State for Schools. The minister wrote to congratulate Gunnersbury for being one of the nation’s top 100 schools in three different categories: GCSE attainment, achievement of the English Baccalaureate, Value-added from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4.
