This result will enable them to make the next step towards their dream careers.

One of those pupils was Joanna Williams, who achieved an A in Maths and C in English.

She said “I already have a degree in Chemistry which I achieved from my studies in Poland, but I needed my GCSEs to progress on to a degree here in England.

“I chose to study the higher tier papers and I’m really happy with my results, especially as English isn’t my first language. I’m hoping to become a Teacher.”

Fellow pupil Nicola Thompson was ‘thrilled’ with her results.

She said, “I’ve always had a love for animals and I wanted a career change.

“By achieving a B grade in Biology, I can now apply for Veterinary Nurse training.
