Pupils and staff from the de Ferrers Academy, in Burton, are celebrating another year of strong GCSE and BTEC grades this year.
The school, in St Mary's Drive, Horninglow, saw very high levels of achievement in the reformed maths qualification, seeing 24 students receive a top grade of a 9.
Staff at the school have said that the pupils have performed admirably despite the difficulties of tackling a different grading scale, since the traditional A* to U grading system has changed to a numerical scale between 0 and 9 – with 9 being the highest and 0 the lowest, but only for English and maths courses. Pupils at the school also achieved well in the three sciences, biology, chemistry and physics.
An incredible 19 different students received at least nine grade A or equivalent results. They are, Emily Doran, Eve Grady, Sophie Lawless, Jessica Morris, Megan Lear, Hiba Tu Noor Rabbani, Freya Taylor, Archie Skeels, Kier Long, Ibrar Ahmed, Lewis Anderson, Elin Mills, Lucy Pendleton, Lewis Gladwin, Autumn Beddoe, Mollie Cox, Lainya Knopik, Jessica Stevens and Eleanoe Ramshaw.
Nick Holmes, principal of the de Ferrers Academy has applauded the pupils at the school for their dedication throughout their studies.
Mr Holmes said: "I am delighted for the pupils, their hard work has paid off and they fully deserve the excellent results that they have achieved."
