Secondary school exam results worst in London
08 March 2007
SECONDARY schools in Islington have hit the bottom of the league table - with the WORST exam results in London for 14-year-olds.

Islington is ranked below all 31 other boroughs in the capital in National Curriculum tests in English, maths and science taken by teenagers in May last year.

Two of Islington's secondary schools are among the bottom 20 individual schools in London in the league table - only nine schools across the city have worse results than Islington Arts and Media School in Turle Road, Finsbury Park, and only 13 scored worse than Holloway School in Hilldrop Road, Holloway.

The killers of Ben Kinsella were gangster wannabes * * By Ryan Parry 12/06/2009 (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) (L-R) Alleyne, Braithwaite and Kika (Pic:Met Police) As members of the Market Massiv' gang, Michael Alleyne, Jade Braithwaite and Juress Kika demanded respect and loyalty. They fancied themselves as gangsters but in reality they were drugdealing cowards, armed with guns and knives, who needed ferocious Staffordshire bull terriers for protection.
