In order to motivate the students to excel at the exams, GCSE students at Middleton Technology School have an added incentive after teachers decided to use free driving lessons as a reward.
For the said endeavor, the school has joined forces with local instructor Phil Stevenson.
Three free lessons worth £60 will be offered to students who score at least a C in five of their exams, including English and maths.
Previously, teachers had rewarded students with book tokens but say the road tuition will be a more meaningful incentive.
Among the first to benefit from the scheme are a group of 20 students who sat exams this summer.
Ian Jenkins, the school’s assistant head teacher, said: “Over 20 students have received packs of three lessons for their outstanding results and progress in GCSE Maths and English.
“We hope to continue this incentive this academic year to provide students with fantastic rewards for all their hard work.They are a brilliant incentive, and have helped get the boys achieving at rates way above the national average, in fact amongst the best the country,” he added.
