Cathedral School top co-ed school in Wales - again

The Cathedral School is delighted to note that, in the school performance tables for GCSE published in The Times this morning, it is ranked once again as the top performing co-educational school in Wales, 100% of its Year 11 pupils in 2008 having achieved 5 A*-C grades, 68.06% of all grades being at A* or A. Only 31 other independent co-ed schools in the whole of the UK are ranked higher than the Cathedral School.

The Daily Telegraph also ranks the Cathedral School as the top co-educational school in Wales by some margin, in its own performance tables published today (30 August 2008).

Headmaster Stephen Morris commented: "To be sustaining such an excellent level of academic achievement, for a considerable number of pupils of mixed ability, both boys and girls, is a testimony to the dedication and ambition of all at the Cathedral School: pupils, staff and parents. We don't take such achievements for granted of course and will work just as hard next year with our new Year 11, and make sure too that their schooling is not all about exams and assessment, but education in the widest possible sense."
