Students and staff at Landau Forte College Derby are again celebrating a set of fantastic GCSE results.
Students have secured some incredible results, with 79% of students achieving level 4 and above in both English and Maths. What is particularly pleasing this year is that results for disadvantaged students in receipt of Pupil Premium funding are particularly strong and above national averages for non-Pupil Premium students. Staff at LFCD, which was yet again rated as “Outstanding” by Ofsted inspectors earlier this year, worked hard to ensure students were well prepared for the exams.
