Success at Our Lady’s Convent

OUR Lady’s Convent School is said to be very pleased with the GCSE results for 2017.

Twenty-two per cent of grades were A*-A/9-7, 46 per cent were A*-B/9-5.5, and 82 per cent were A*-C/9-4.

Georgia Morris achieved all A*s or As across her GCSE results and was understandably excited to celebrate with her sister Claudia who achieved the same in the A-Level results the week before.

Charlotte Parry was speechless with joy when she received her results which included two As and an A*.

Proud mother, Mrs Parry said: “She’s worked super-hard, and even when she came out of exams fearing the worst, she learned to put those fears behind her and keep revising for the next one...and it’s certainly paid off!”

Serena Fathers celebrated with her mother and sister when she received the news that she had achieved eight A*s or As in her results, following on from her older sister’s success in the A-Level results.

These results will stand her in good stead as she prepares for A-Levels and ultimately Medical School.

Mrs Fathers commented: “The sisters have been so supportive of each other, keeping each other motivated and sharing in their successes, they’ve been there for each other and it is wonderful that they have both achieved such excellent results.”

Headteacher, Dr Julian Murphy, said: “At a time during which – quite rightly – GCSEs are becoming more rigorous and challenging, it is pleasing to see our students continuing to stretch themselves and achieve top grades.

“There is enormous potential in this year group and I am excited to see what they will be able to achieve as they move on to sixth form.”
