After A Level students across Nottinghamshire celebrated fantastic results last week, it’s now time for pupils who sat GCSEs to find out how they did.
Ahead of the results day this Thursday (August 22), we had a look at the best and worst performing secondary schools in Mansfield, Ashfield and Worksop – according to their average progress 8 scores.
