George Stephenson High School is now a specialist HUMANITIES college with excellent facilities for learning. The staff and governors of the school are committed to its continuing development and improvement and to the success of every individual student.
Over the last seven years the school has made significant improvements and built up a reputation for being a lively, caring school and an exciting place for students to learn.
This summer 70% of students gained 5A*-C grades, a fantastic result and an improvement of 21% on the previous year. The percentage of students gaining the highest grades was better than ever before and a number of students achieved A* and A grades in all of their examinations.
This autumn, once again, our sixth formers have left us to go on to continue their studies at universities and colleges locally and nationally.
We believe that the learning environment we provide allows students to grow and develop academically, socially and personally into responsible, caring and confident young people.
The information in the following web pages can only give you a taste of what the school can offer your child. Do please visit us and see for yourself. I look forward to meeting you.
