The Headmaster of the college is Neville Beischer BEd (Hons), and the Chair of Governors is Mr Colin Brierley MBE. The college, in terms of Value Added scores, is the highest achieving Comprehensive secondary school in England and Wales. This means that from a relatively low achieving background, children leave Wright Robinson with above average results. Results from Wright Robinson are higher than those of any school of its kind in the country, beaten in Manchester only by the King David School. The annual presentational ceremony for GCSE results is held around December at the famous Bridgewater Hall, home of the Hallé Orchestra. ==History== Over the years, Wright Robinson College has been at the centre of Manchester sport. The school was, at the time, in association with the 2002 Commonwealth Games and played a role in the weightlifting events of the games. The school, in late 2006, suffered a lightning strike to the main boiler which caused a large fire in the A block of the building. Because of this, the school was closed for three days, and resulted in permanent damage to the roof of the old building. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wright Robinson College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
