In July 2008 the first students to enrol at Stepping Stones (in 2004) left school to go onto further education.  These three students accumulated no less than 16 GCSE passes (A-E) with one of them achieving seven A-C grades. These students also achieved a total of 18 Entry Level awards, all of them with either a merit or a distinction. They have gone on to study ‘A “levels and/or GNVQs at three different colleges of further education.
