Exam Results
Tuxford Is Now A “TOP SCHOOL” – Official This year’s public examination results for all age groups were excellent, not only for the students, but also for the staff who taught them and for the school as a whole. The results placed Tuxford in the “Top State Schools” table compiled by The Times newspaper for both A Level and GCSE. A few weeks after the results were published we learned that we had also made the Top Schools list alongside such names as Eton, Harrow and Roedean. Below is a summary of our students’ superb achievements:
