Jessie cried tears of joy after achieving seventh grade 9s and two grade 8s.

She said: “I’m really emotional because I’ve worked so hard. The school has been a fantastic source of support and the plan now is to study medicine and maybe work as a GP.”

Daniel achieved grade 9s in biology, maths, chemistry, computer science, physics, and English language.

He said: “I’m shocked. I was expected to score highly in maths and science but I’m really pleased with English.”

Oliver Shaw has every reason to be proud of himself after achieving ‘the most improved performance’ at Hurworth School, near Darlington.
