[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. It is also possible for determined students who have not achieved the nesscessary CAT score to appeal.
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.
