Dozens of students were on cloud nine as dread turned into delight at GCSE results day at All Hallows School.

An impressive 84 per cent of GCSE students at the Weybourne school achieved grades 9 to 4, while one in every three grades recorded was 9 to 7 - or A* to A in ‘old school’ terms.

Around 80 per cent of five GCSEs were Grade 4 or above, including in the core subjects of English and Maths.

Harri Baker, Beona Benoy, Angela Biju, Godfrey Chung, Micaela Firpo, Ana Hathaway, Grace Knight, Scarlett Lewis, Arwen McGrory, Asa Mead, Isla Moon, Izzy Ward and Sherise Yeung all achieved Grade 9 to 7 or top BTEC marks in every subject.

Special commendation goes to Sherise who received a Grade 9 in nine subjects.
