Cardinal Langley RC High School, in Middleton, has won a 2015 Good Schools Guide Award for boys taking Business Studies at A-level.

The school has been presented with this award by The Good Schools Guide for out-performing all other English schools in its category. The prestigious annual awards, which are in their ninth year, are based on a detailed analysis of the most recent examination results, and are designed to highlight consistently good teaching.

Andrew Bridson, headteacher, presented the award to Anthony Campbell, who leads the Sixth Form and also teaches A-level Business Studies.

Mr Bridson said: "We are absolutely delighted to be acknowledged in this way for the high quality of education we provide. This is a very proud moment for the school and we are sure it will inspire and encourage all students who are working toward their A-levels."

Ralph Lucas, Editor of The Good Schools Guide, commented: "Our annual awards scheme is designed to recognise and reward excellence in teaching in every subject area at both GCSE and A Level or equivalent. Our awards give individual teachers and departments where teaching is at its very best the recognition they deserve."

The Good Schools Guide Awards are based on a series of calculations which take into account relative popularity and performance of the subject, absolute performance, and percentage of pupils taking the subject.
