ESB excellence

Just before breaking up for the Easter holidays, pupils in Forms 2 and 4 completed English Speaking Board (ESB) examinations that tested a range of their speaking and listening skills. The children, parents and teaching staff worked hard to prepare these very challenging and exacting exams; each child is judged by an independent assessor whose standards and expectations are phenomenally high! We are delighted to report that the two year groups posted a wonderful set of scores with all children passing with flying colours! Indeed, 52% of Form 2 pupils and 58% of Form 4 pupils achieved a Distinction, the Board’s highest level of attainment! The assessors told us afterwards that this is an unprecedented level of achievement so well done to all for their hard work and commitment in producing such an excellent set of results. The photograph shows the children who achieved the level of Distinction in their ESB exams.
