Staff and students at the Trinity Academy in Thorne are celebrating this week after being honoured with yet another national accolade.
The award comes after the school recorded the biggest improvement in GCSE results of any Academy in England.
The new award adds to Trinity's previous accolades which include being the most improved Academy in England and the most improved school in Yorkshire and Humberside.
Schools Commissioner for England and Wales Sir Bruce Liddington presented the prestigious honour for the most improved 2007 GCSE results at the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust conference in London to Academy Principal Ian Brew.
The conference, which was held in the shadow of the Houses of Parliament, was attended by around 350 principals, vice-principals, project managers and sponsors.
The award Trinity Academy received is a national recognition for the most outstanding GCSE results in 2007. The Academy almost doubled its previous year's pass rate.
This achievement helped make the Academy Doncaster District's most improved school and rocketed it ten places into the borough's top six best secondary schools.
Mr Brew said: "This latest honour for Trinity bears testimony to the young people of Thorne and Moorends, who have responded so strongly to the opportunities which the Academy and its staff team have brought to them.
"As well as academic advancement, the sheer joy of students participating in sport, drama, music and community action has given a tangible lift to the whole atmosphere around town and we are very proud to be making our contribution towards putting the area on the national map."
They also received high praise in an Ofsted report recently, when an inspector judged it to be a good and rapidly improving school where outstanding leadership had transformed the life chances and opportunities of its students.
Nigel McQuoid, Director of Schools for Sir Peter Vardy's Emmanuel Schools Foundation, which sponsors Trinity, added: "At the outset we said that the going would be tough but that by remaining focussed on doing what is best for our students our high aspirations could be achieved through a resolute determination not to be diverted from doing what is right.
"Perhaps we did not expect to win such a prestigious award so soon after opening - we certainly didn't set about our work in Thorne in order to win trophies - but it is a great achievement by everyone involved and long may such excellence continue."
