| Quote XBrettKennyX="XBrettKennyX"It's not a "problem", more a fact of life Rogues.
What's the point of going onto A Levels and (proper) University if it's not to be the best?
No point in "making up the numbers for the sake of it" imho.
I have to say that when I was at Winstanley, there were quite a few people there who I thought was a waste of taxpayers money for them to be there. God knows how the "lesser" colleges fared.'"
From experience.
JR cared about people.
WC cared about results.
Where would you send your child? |

Totally agree Rogues, and this is from present day, not experience. |

that league tables utter bolox imo, but where are you getting it in your head that RBHS isnt one of the best>
its 2nd in the CVA ? list(behind Hawkley), but near the bottom in the published list..no.i dont understand it either.
what it doesnt take into account is that RBHS is a centre of excellence for Science, and has an exceptional anti bullying policy.
so whats best?...you tell me |

WC then.
What exactly do you want out of a 6th form college? What's the point of going on to do A Levels if you are not striving for results?
Not that I agree with the fact that WC don't "care", If I wanted somewhere that "cared about people" I would send my child to the Samaritans. |

Totally agree with that, Winstanley was the only place I wanted to go because it was the best for results, albeit this was 12 year ago. I never once got the impression that they didn't care for their students either, but there was a push to succeed. WC always had the best totty too 
Each to their own I suppose  |

| Quote Catalancs="Catalancs"Well it's between there and John Rigby as Wigan have moved all their A-levels to Leigh. Ten years ago Wigan was miles ahead of Winstanley in Geography, Geology and Environmental studies at least.
'"
There's no hope for me then, as I was doing all those A-Levels at Winstanley in 2000. 
Quote Catalancs
Is Winstanley still the higher education choice of the pushy middle-class parent?
'"
Yes, it certainly was when I was there and to make matters worse on this thread, I'm married to a Saints fan and live in Lowton which now has an identity crisis whether it is Wigan at all.
Where did it all go wrong? |
