The official newspaper of Sir John Deane’s Sixth Form College
Issue 1, June 2018
No. 1 in the country
Sir John Deane’s is now the highest achieving
sixth form college in the country, in tables
recently released by the Department for
Education.
The College scored a 96% achievement rate and
is ranked first out of more than three hundred
colleges nationally.
The achievement rate is one of the purest
measures of the success of a college. It reflects
the proportion of students who stay on course,
complete their studies and pass their exams.
Head boy, Charles West, who lives in Winsford
and previously attended the Winsford Academy,
added: “As a student, I am proud be able to say
that I go to Sir John Deane’s. It’s fantastic that we
have such an outstanding A level focused college
in the heart of Cheshire, giving local children the
best possible chances.
“As a community, we encourage each other
to reach our full potential. Our academic
achievements are a reflection of the emotional
and extra-curricular support available; Sir John
Deane’s students leave the college well educated,
not just well-schooled.”
With an achievement rate of 96%, Sir John Deane’s
is an impressive 11% above the national average.
