CRGS should ‘burnish gold’ rather than go for number expansion, says head teacher
TH E head tea ch er of Clitheroe Royal Gram mar S ch o o l h a s revealed his plan for it to continue to "burnish gold" a t A level rather than expand numbers. Mr Stuart Holt told the

CRGS’s nomination as an outstanding school in the Chief Inspector of OFST- ED's annual report and revealed that it is being con sidered as a future Beacon School, helping similar ones

This was important, said Mr Holt, because more and more students wanted to go to university, making it more difficult to secure a place on a good degree course, universities were beginning to look for quali ties of enthusiasm and com mitment.
