The highest performing student at All Hallows was Louis Hill, who said he was ‘really surprised’ after he opened his results to find he had achieved grade 9 in all 10 of his exams.
Acting Principal Peter Nickson said he was proud of his both his staff and pupils for their hard work over the year and was ‘honoured’ to share the success.
He said, ‘These results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of both staff and pupils.
“They reflect the quality of teaching and learning at All Hallows, which has been one of the pillars of the success of the College for many years.
“Most importantly, individual students will now have opportunities in life opened up, as a result of strong GCSE and BTEC results.
“As well as values, this is one of the core aims of education, one which we work very hard at, and is a journey which we feel very honoured to have shared with the students and their parents and carers’.
Chair of Governors, Jacqui Feely said: “We are very proud and grateful for the hard work of students and staff, which have led to these wonderful results.
“Thank you to everyone for their dedication and devotion to the academic success and welfare of our young people’.
