Why is it, I wonder, that Rednock students enjoy their history so much and why have so many opted for the subject at ‘AS’ Level? This new course, designed to bridge the gap between GCSE and ‘A’ Level, has allowed a new calibre of student to enrol. The ability range, in our three Year 12 sets, is now very mixed, with some students who secured only Ds and Es at GCSE. This creates new challenges but it is an opportunity we relish.
