Every boy achieved a minimum of seven GCSE passes. These results enabled Camp Hill tomaintain its prominent position in all the various national league tables. Staff are well qualified and turnover is low. All subjects are taught by specialist teachers, many of whom also have a high level of involvement in extra curricular activity. Staff training is afforded a high priority, with emphasis on keeping abreast of changes in public examinations.
All new staff undergo a detailed induction course during their first year at the school.
Within the narrow ability range, teaching groups are of mixed ability, except in Mathematics and French, where pupils are in sets in the years preceding the GCSE examination. There is no fast stream. The school follows the DfEE Code of Practice on the identification and assessment of special educational needs. Arrangements which encompass the whole ability range, including the exceptionally gifted, are explained in the Learning Support Policy. A copy of the policy is available on request at the school.
