Robert Clack School praised the success of its students today after they celebrated outstanding results.
Deputy head Russell Taylor told the Post how his secondary in Gosfield Road, Dagenham, had received its highest ever pass rate, with 70 per cent of students bagging A*-C and 100 per cent A*-E.
“The staff at this school are outstanding,” he said. “They understand the pressure the kids are under to achieve.
“I also know what it is like as I used to be a student here when Sir Paul Grant was a teacher. Now he’s the headmaster, the school has completely turned around.”
High achiever Harry Coster has already planned his future after excelling with three A*.
“I’m going to do a degree in maths and economics because I want to get a job in the City. I’m not sure what job exactly, but I know I’ve got my whole future ahead of me.”
