Six Lifetime Achievement awards and two Outstanding Service to the Community awards were presented to eight recipients in recognition of their commitment and dedication to supporting the people of Barnet.
While national league tables have been suspended this year, it is expected that Barnet students will again perform strongly in their GCSEs. Last year, students in the borough ranked second in the country for Progress 8 scores, which gauge the progress made by each student during their time at secondary school, out of 151 local authorities. At the same time, the average Attainment 8 score, which is a way of measuring pupils across eight qualifications including Maths and English, saw Barnet ranked second highest nationally.

Schools and colleges have been asked to provide exam boards with two pieces of information for each subject: the grade they believe each pupil would have achieved if teaching had continued and the ranking order of students by performance at each grade. Due to the new marking process, these grades will not be used to obtain a school average or a Barnet average as in previous years. However, Barnet A-Level results have consistently been in the top five per cent nationally over the last few years.

All our schools have shown tremendous dedication and commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as we reach the end of the summer term I would like to thank them for their hard work.
