RESULTS IN THE SENIOR DEPARTMENT
Tower House School is by policy a non-selective school. Bearing this in mind, the recent results at GCSE have been exceptional. When the percentage of pupils at Tower House gaining 5 or more passes including English and Mathematics is compared to the national average the results are even more impressive (see table). The overall subject higher grade pass rates have regularly been over 85%.
