Performance

The faces of pupils returning to Hillside in August to receive their exam results were tinted with justifiable pride as they celebrated another stunning success. There was not one pupil in the whole year who did not have some examination success and the headline figure of 91% gaining a minimum of 5 grades at A* to C was not only the best in the history of the school but also placed Hillside at the top of the Sefton league table. Hillside was also the Sefton school to earn the top figure for CVA (Contectual Value Added - the amount in which children make progress from entry to school in Year 7 to their external exams at the end of Year 11). In terms of achieving 5 grades at A* to C including English and Maths, 46% of the pupils were successful. As Headteacher Mrs. Laetitia Shemilt said, " We are all so very proud of our wonderful pupils and now they have the opportunity to go on and succeed in whichever direction their dreams may lay."
