‘I would like to congratulate both the girls and the staff’ said Valerie Dunsford, Head at Sheffield High School, ‘I am proud to be a part of such a successful school where students regularly achieve over and above expectations. Our results, once more, were excellent with our seventh year with 100% pass rate at A level (80% A/B) and 70% A*/A at GCSE. Five of the A level results were the top in the country and six of our girls who took GCSE between two and six years early all passed with A*!’
