St Mary's College is celebrating another very good year for GCSE results with a five per cent increase in the number of passes at A* or A grade.

In total, a third of the 93 candidates achieved seven A grades or better with two students obtaining 11 A* passes and another pupil collecting ten A* and one A grade GCSEs.

College Principal, Mike Kennedy, commented: "I am very pleased with these results which are a testament to the hard work of our students and the support they have received from staff and parents throughout their time at the school.

Achieving excellent results at GCSE level is a great foundation on which to build future success at A level, at university and in their chosen careers.  The students and their families should be very proud of what they have achieved."
