Secondary Schools

Teenagers across Swale have been given safety advice and tips as part of a roadshow being presented to schools.

The partnership roadshow included topics such as health and social care, drugs and alcohol, antisocial behaviour, exploitation and knife crime. Staff from Kent Police, Swale Borough Council, Clarion Housing domestic abuse services, charity Uprising Youth and Community, and the NHS were all involved.

Secondary school pupils across Sittingbourne were able to pick up their GCSE Results from 8am this morning (Thursday 22nd August).

Nationally the pass rate across England, Wales and Northern Ireland has fallen for the third year running – with 67.6% of all grades at 4/C and above. Since 2017 scores have been used in a numerical scale with grades being ranked from 1 (which is the lowest) to 9 (the highest). A standard pass is considered to be a 4 and a strong pass as a 5.
