GCSE Results are in - so which school is best in Hitchin?

With results going up by over 90% which schools in Hitchin are the high performers?

Both Hitchin Boys and Girls School have excellent reputations and obtaining a place for your child is an extremely fierce battle, but are they the best schools in your opinion?

Never having attended a school in Hitchin myself I can only compare it to the school that I attended in Stevenage. At the time Hitchin Girls School was knocking spots off my school as we were an all abilities school and HGS, was considered to be more selective.

Which schools did you attend? Are they as good today as they were in your day; perhaps they are better? Have your children attended the same school that you did? Is a single sex school still the best form of education, or do you feel that has a detrimental effect on the development of social skills?
