Added Value
The Advanced Level Performance System (ALPS) has awarded its certificate of Outstanding Progress to GSAL in recognition of the school’s national standing in A-level performance. The data which analyses the A-level results of schools and colleges in the UK to produce a three-year T-Score based on the quality of teaching and student outcomes puts GSAL in the top 5% of sixth forms nationally for adding value at A-level (2018).
We pride ourselves on our ‘value-added’ and with the help of our pupils we have created this short film to explain what it means, and why it is so important for your child.
