They came third behind Sherborne Girls, and Sherborne School, both of which are private schools, meaning they were the best performing state school in our area. A huge congratulations to Jim Gower and all the staff at The Gryphon on this phenomenal achievement.
Also to be congratulated are Sturminster Newton High School, who received the best BTEC results within SAST, and pulling ahead of other Dorset schools.
