Headlines Maths Magic The top 4 sets of Y10 maths students were entered for GCSE more than a year early. A staggering 75% of the 105 students gained a grade C or better and 23 of them achieved the top grades of A* and A. Those students who did not achieve their minimum expected grade (MEG) will continue to work towards achieving it later in the year whilst those who gained their MEG or grades A*/A will begin to study an additional GCSE in Statistics.
So, I sent our undercover reporter, Mr Buckley to find out who really is the brain behind the Castle House Team… It turns out that Jordan Maddock in Yr 11 is the brain behind the Castle House winning team! I knew it couldn't be Mr Milne!
LFC Fan of the Season Our very own Mr Gandy received a nice surprise when he was voted Liverpool FC’s first ‘Fan of the Season’.
This builds on the success of Y11 where 54% of the entire year group have already achieved grade C or better. At the Grange it seems we have a penchant for turning out able mathematicians.
School Fantasy Football Having been twice champion and once runner-up in this competition I am feeling very despondent at my poor performance this year. The Champions this year are The Castle House Team with Miss McGuffie coming a very close second. The Castle House Team have been top of the table for months now and to be honest, I find it incredible that the manager, Mr Milne, has masterminded this success; after all, I concluded, he is a Carlisle United supporter and they don’t know anything about football otherwise they would support a proper football team with a pedigree such as my team, Everton!
He has been a proud and passionate follower of the club for over 70 years and scooped the prestigious accolade after being voted for by fans in an online poll. Mr Gandy has supported Liverpool since 1943 when he attended his first match – a war-time derby with Everton. His all-time Anfield idol is legendary forward Billy Liddell. On receiving his award Mr Gandy said, “The fact that Liverpool fans voted for me to win this award makes it extra special”.
