Going from strength-to-strength at Canons High

We are delighted to report that our GCSE results were the best ever recorded for Canons High with 73% of our Year 11 students achieving 5 or more passes at grades A* - C. This represents a massive 14% improvement on last year's results. As usual, there were many outstanding individual performances. I am equally proud to report that every single Year 11 student achieved at least 5 passes at GCSE grades A* - G, this is a superb achievement.

We are proud of our first set of A Level results and are delighted that the vast majority of students have gained a place at the university of their choice.  We are pleased to announce that applications for this year's Sixth Form courses have risen dramatically and our enrolment is up 100% against last year's numbers.

The school is improving and moving forward at a fast pace. This success is the culmination of so much hard work on the part of our students as well as the dedication and commitment of staff we have at the school. We would like to congratulate examination candidates on such a splendid set of results and, as a school, we are so very proud of them.  Could I also thank parents for supporting your children in their drive for success and for working so well with us at the school. We achieve so much more by working together.

Following our latest Ofsted Inspection in May 2007, we were delighted that inspectors graded the school as very good with many outstanding features. Inspectors' comments reflected those made by pupils and parents that Canons "is a very happy school where pupils' behaviour is excellent". I am very proud of our dedicated and hard-working staff whose outstanding commitment was recognised by Ofsted: "Staff aim for excellence in all aspects of school life".

We pride ourselves on providing a caring, inclusive yet challenging environment for all young people to learn and achieve their potential. Our enthusiasm and commitment to our pupils, together with our drive for continual improvement is what makes Canons High School unique.
