We are delighted to announce that Pipers Corner School has been awarded the 2009 Good Schools Guide GCSE Award for Girls taking Business Studies: Single at GCSE at an English Independent School.

This prestigious award aims to highlight excellent teaching in individual subjects.

The Good Schools Guide makes these awards on the basis of a school's Key Stage 4 results for the three years 2006, 2007 and 2008 combined, and in particular on the basis of the popularity of each subject relative to similar schools, and of the success that pupils achieve relative to the other examinations that they take.

As stated on www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk "If a school has won one of our awards, it has outranked all other English schools in its category (Independent, State selective, State non-selective or All-England) for the subject and exam concerned: teaching is likely to be very good."

Headmistress, Mrs Helen Ness-Gifford said, "We are very pleased that the success of our girls has been recognised through this accolade from the Good Schools Guide. We are very proud of all our students and their achievements. At Pipers we endeavour to promote a love of learning and enable all girls to achieve their full potential. I am delighted that the efforts of our teachers and students have been recognised in this way."
