Michael Fabricant visited Nether Stowe High School on Friday 22nd June
to present national certificates to biology teachers who have achieved
the best A level results in the country. The first certificate issued
by The Good Schools Guide is for the best results in A level biology at
any English School and the second certificate is for the best result
achieved nationally by girls taking A level biology at a non-selective
state school.

"These certificates are a major coup for the West Midlands" says Michael
Fabricant. "Nether Stowe High School in Lichfield has achieved the best
results in the country for A level biology and the message is clear: if
you think your child is a budding doctor or medical research scientist,
you should seriously consider sending them to Nether Stowe. What an
incredible result!"
