Pupils at Chetwynde School are celebrating after achieving a set of outstanding grades in their GCSE exams.
The Class of ‘24 returned to school to open their envelopes which revealed an array of 9s and 8s.
The Year 11s were congratulated by staff at the Rating Lane school, which is part of South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust.
Many will now go on to study A-levels at sixth form while others have secured sought-after apprenticeships and employment.
Headteacher Steve Jefferson said he was delighted at the results which were a testament to the hard work and dedication of pupils.
“It has been a wonderful morning with several of our students returning for their results having been with us since kindergarten.
“We are so proud they have all achieved their potential and leave us with the confidence to succeed. We now hope that their education with us is a springboard to lifelong learning.
“They will go on to great things carrying the values of our school – respect, responsibility, resilience – into their futures and all the additional benefits a Chetwynde education brings including sporting and drama excellence.”
He thanked all the staff at the school saying said the results also reflected the excellent support they had received from teachers, school staff and the wider SCMAT community.
Among the top students were:
Head Boy, Nathan Lee Cheong – Best results in school
Marrisa Roberts – 2 Grade 9 and 4 Grade 8
Twin Sisters – Gretta Morton 3 Grade 9 and 1 Grade 8 and Honor Morton 1 grade 9 and 3 Grade 8.
Congratulations to all the students.
