Council congratulates children for best ever results
Cross party support was reached for a Conservative motion congratulating Medway’s young people for achieving the best ever exam results.
Exam results announced on Thursday (15 January) revealed that 66 percent of Medway’s pupils had received five A*-C grades at GCSE compared to 64 percent in 2007. This was above the national average of 65 percent.
Post 16 results also continued to improve across Medway’s schools.
At a meeting of the council on Thursday (15 January) all members voted to commend the tremendous achievement of Medway school children in the GCSE results for this academic year. In doing so, the council also recognised and appreciated the efforts of the teaching and support staff that have worked so hard to achieve these results.
Proposer of the motion Cllr Mike O’Brien said:
“I am proud of our young people for their tremendous efforts in achieving the best results ever in Medway and this motion, which was supported by all councillors, is in recognition of all the hard work of the teachers, support staff and pupils.”

Yes, I agree completely. I was there in the public "gallery", and was very pleased to witness this Motion being accepted across the whole Council.
It was especially good of Councillor Mike O'Brien to accept the opposition's request for a slight trimming of the Motion, which he handled in a statesmanlike fashion.
I'm getting more impressed with Mike the more I see him in action.
