Alder’s best ever Maths results - 83% A*-C!

Students at Alder Community High School finished their Maths GCSE in March and an incredible 83% of students achieved the higher A*-C grades, way above the national average (68% last year). More importantly, 85% of students made the Government’s ‘expected progress’ measure, again way above the national average (69%). Actually, 50% of students made better than ‘expected progress’, another statistic way above the national average.

The Alder Run 2013
01/05/2013 - 10:53

The sun came out again for the Seventh Annual Alder Sponsored Run for The Christie.

Werneth Low looked splendid in the late afternoon light and the footpaths were dotted with the now famous yellow ‘I’m doing it for The Christie’ tee-shirts. There was a tremendous turn out from year 7. The total raised has yet to be added up- but there were some outstanding efforts from runners in tutus with their legs tied together; Mr Ditchfield skipping, serious runners completing four or more laps in record times. It was easy to spot Wally in stripes against the crowd, Daniel, and Aaron Gledhill was a very hot but determined Christie Bear!
