A total of 65 per cent of students received five A*-C grades, including English and Maths – up seven per cent on last year. Headteacher Sue Marooney said: “It is a stunning set of results for a stunning year group. “For our school to achieve year on year improvement for a decade is a reflection of our team ethos and work ethic.” The school’s best individual was Chandler Goddard, 16, who got nine A*s and four As. He said; “I wasn’t really nervous until I got here and saw everyone queueing up. “It was a long wait for the results, but I am really pleased with what I got.” Close behind was Oli Marks, 16, who put in ‘a lot of hours’ of revision to get eight A*s and four As. He is now set to attend BHASVIC College, and already has his sights set on a career in medicine. He said; “It feels amazing, I can’t believe it. “I was expecting mostly A grades, and put a lot of hours of revision in, but I thought I would get a few Bs too. “I’m very happy, it’s crazy.”
