Queen's College has always prided itself on encouraging a wide range of abilities and talents in its pupils but to have a professional footballer entering the sixth form with some of the best GCSE results in the school is unusual even for Queen's.
Rob Clowes, who signed for Yeovil Town earlier this year, came into collect his excellent GCSE results [5A*s,5As,one B] and told the school that he'd also just been picked for his Yeovil first team debut.
"At the last minute I was told that some FA paperwork wasn't complete so I couldn't play in the match, which was pretty gutting," said Rob, who begins a science A-level course this week. "But it looks like I'll be on the bench within the next few weeks."
Overall it was a another excellent year for Queen's pupils, with 55% of them gaining A* or A grades, right on the school's highly consistent five year average. "It's hard work form the pupils and excellent teaching from the staff that produces such good results year after year," said headmaster Chris Alcock.
"What I'm also delighted about is that all our pupils gained the crucial 5A*-C grades, which is the fundamental qualification for continuing their education."
