Almost a third of all grades were at the very highest mark, with 85 per cent of students achieving a Grade 4 or above in English and 78 pc in Maths.

Twenty-nine students in the year managed to gain Grade 7, 8 or 9 in nine or more of their subject; including Rowan Allen, Robert Bowers, Lucy Dennis, Thomas England, Mary-Elizabeth Herd, Lucy Holland, Grace Jones, Constance Law, Saffron Milner, Duncan Munro, Hope Murray, Madeleine Myers, Ben Nicol, James Paulson, Jakub Plowiec, Lydia Roberts, Jordan Royle, Leo Sandhu, Samuel Wood, Hannah Worth, and Nimra Zubair.

Aurnia Barlow, Robert Bowers, David Cook, Ailsa Hay, Sarah Walton Smith, Alex Wolski and Nimra Zubair achieved Grade 8 or 9 in all their examinatio­ns.

Sam Wood and Rachel Mercer both achieved the extraordin­ary feat of securing the highest Grade 9 in all of their 11 subjects.

Headteache­r Francis Power said it has been a challengin­g year for both staff and pupils but he is proud of what they have done and wished them luck in the future.

He said: “We are delighted with our results again this year. Implementi­ng the new GCSE courses and examinatio­ns has been a huge challenge for our staff and students so we are thrilled to see that we have maintained such high standards through this period of turbulence.

“We are particular­ly pleased to see this pattern of strong achievemen­t and progress by students of all abilities as we know that such success allows every individual to progress successful­ly to the next phase of their education with a positive sense of achievemen­t and selfworth.

“Overall, this cohort of students have made a massive contributi­on to the life of the school during their time here and they leave with our best wishes for the future.”

Several students, including Ben Nicol, Aur- nia Barlow, Ruby Burns and Hope Murray also impressed and achieved high grades whilst performing at a national level in their chosen sports

Fallibroom­e Trust CEO Peter Rubery said the pupils were a credit to the school.

He said: “Students and teachers in Cheshire and across the country deserve every credit for achieving such positive results in a year of uncertaint­y. Year 11 students at Fallibroom­e and Winsford have matched the wonderful results achieved by our Year 6 and A Level students earlier in the summer and proved the benefit of working together in a Multi-Academy Trust.

“We wish them continued success as they progress to the next stage of their education.”
