"The school continues to grow from strength to strength with 58% of students gaining a 4+ in English and Maths.

"There have been some outstanding individual results across the ability range with many planning to study A Levels at Springwood Sixth Form.

"I would like to thank the staff for their dedication and the parents for their support in securing another successful year at Smithdon.
