“Girls' achievement is particularly good and schools are now working hard to support boys to achieve even better outcomes with their English skills.
“Congratulations to our young people, their parents and schools – we wish them every continued success in their learning.”

“Notwithstanding the embarrassing and inevitable prospect of Humberside electing a publicly discredited incompetent and buffoon, Lord John Prescott as its 1st Police and Crime Commissioner!!??
Just reviewing and comparing the Dept for Education figures, this NLC/ST contrived spin alongwith todays report & altogether different slant from the Hull Daily Mail:

I am afraid to say it just about sums up the contradictions, calibre, integrity and credibility of Humberside's local government and political establishment. No where more so, than here on the south bank!!
I rest my case!!”

“The story does refer to the 'provisional' results. Does that mean that they are awaiting lots of remarking because they don't like the results and thought they should be higher.”

Alongwith Hull's schools; the wider performance figures for North Lincolnshire schools remain the worst for Yorkshire and Humber region. And more importantly remain bumping along the bottom of the league table within the country as a whole!!?
But, nice try cllr Waltham et al!! ;-)”
