Alderley Edge School for Girls has won the 2011 Good Schools Guide A Level Award for achieving the best point score at an English Independent School amongst girls who took the extended project in the Cambridge Pre-U Principal Subject of English.
Cambridge Pre-U Principal Subjects are available across a wide variety of subjects and have been designed to stretch and challenge pupils. The qualification has an extended grading scale so it can differentiate and reward achievement amongst the top performers.
The Good Schools Guide awarded the school on the basis of performance results over the last three years, the popularity of each subject relative to similar schools, and of the success that pupils achieve in relation to the other examinations that they take.
The aim of the award is to highlight excellence in teaching within individual subjects, and Alderley Edge School for Girls is delighted to receive the award.
Mrs Susan Goff, Headmistress commented, "It is always nice to be recognised externally for successes within the school, and I would like to congratulate the English Department on achieving the award. Such awards are not only a credit to the teaching staff who work incredibly hard but to our pupils who do their best at whatever challenges they undertake."
