Hard work and determination key to GCSE success at Anthony Gell School
Many Year 11 students were rewarded with the new grade 9s in a range of subjects, with two students alone walking away with 16 of the highest grades between them.
Successes were evident across all subjects, with English students being awarded an even greater proportion of grades 7, 8 and 9 than those gained by their peers in 2017.
