STUDENTS and staff at a Bolton special school are celebrating after achieving GCSE success.
Rumworth School's headteacher Bill Bradbury has hailed this year's results as excellent.
The beacon school, in Armadale Road, teaches children with complex needs and moderate learning difficulties.
Three-quarters of its Year 11 pupils gained at least seven entry level certificates. Six pupils passed GCSE Art, eleven sixth formers passed both GCSE English and Literature, while eight students passed GCSE Maths.
A number of pupils also took GNVQs, with three getting the full award in Health and Social Care, and one in Business.
Mr Bradbury said he believed in pushing his students to achieve the best results they can -- so pupils sit a wide range of subjects, many at GCSE and GNVQ level, just as pupils in mainstream schools do.
Mr Bradbury said: "These are superb results for a special school.
"The GCSE and GNVQ results show how we stretch our most able pupils."
