[edit] Overview
The school currently has approximately 680 pupils. During the academic year 2004/2005 the GCSE pass rate was 100%, at which 40% gained A* to A grades. At A level there was a 100% pass rate of which 79% obtained grades A-C.
Admission into Hautlieu depends on the result of CAT, Cognitive Abilities Test, exams with a minimum result of 109 but there are exceptions for such students who have taken early GCSEs, A levels or gained exemplary results for Key Stage 3.
Over the years it has been suggested by politicians that Hautlieu should be converted to a sixth-form college and the 14+ system (which some regard as controversial) be abolished.
[edit] History
Construction of Hautlieu's first building began on the 18th April, 1951 and was officially opened on the 5th April, 1952, and was originally a boys' grammar school until the admission of its first female student in 1960[citation needed].
Hautlieu 's successful exam results have received positive reports from Her Majesty's Inspectors.
As of June 2003, Hautlieu no longer automatically accepts 14+ pupils from feeder schools but asks that they make an application to be in the school Sixth Form.
