School Worth Saving

The Advertiser - 17th January 2008

Kingswood College in Scarisbrick has achieved success in the latest GCSE league tables-- despite facing closure a year ago.
The independently run school has an 83% score of pupils passing five GCSEs at grades A* - C including English and maths, the second best in the area.
The school on Southport Road has come a long way since receiving the news that owners Global Education Management System (GEMS) were in the process of selling the Scarisbrick Hall estate a year ago.
But determined parents, pupils and staff clubbed togeher to save the Scarisbrick school from closure, forming a charitable trust.
Headteacher Eric Borowski told the Advertiser: '' It was a fantastic achievement made within record time, things were done so quickly.
despite tghis news last January, the students threw themselves into their studies and these results prove that it was a school worth saving.
To say that one is pleased with the GCSE results is an understatement. We are extremely happy with the excellent results, even more so because of the difficult year both the staff and pupilshave had.''
