Students across Keighley district have proved once again that they are a class act. Against a national backdrop of falling GCSE grades, our young guns bucked the trend – and in some style.
Schools chalked up best-ever sets of results, and they can be justifiably proud of their achievements. And those GCSE successes followed hot on the heels of impressive A-Level statistics. Some people are very quick to pour cold water on exam performances, claiming standards are not what they were.
But pupils do not have it easy in the jobs market. Massive congratulations are due to them, their parents and teaching staff. We wish all the young people the very best for the future.
