Celebrations are underway at All Hallows Catholic College.

Principal Tim Beesley is over the moon after seeing another year group achieve impressive GCSE and BTEC results.

He said: "Today is first and foremost about celebrating the achievements of our young people.

"These results reflect the commitment, perseverance and character that this year group has shown throughout their time at All Hallows.

"We are proud not only of the grades they have achieved, but also of the way they have supported one another and embraced opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.

"We look forward to welcoming many of them into our sixth form in September as they begin the next stage of their journey."

Head of year, Jon Mercer, added: "It has been a privilege to work with this group of students over the past five years.

"They have shown great resilience, particularly given the challenges they faced in their early secondary school years, and it has been wonderful to see their efforts rewarded today. We are incredibly proud of them all."

Among the highest-achieving students this was George O'Donnell, who achieved an outstanding ten grade 9s and a distinction.

Other students celebrating notable success include Lily Grey, Leila McKenna, Hannah Graves, Ann Pham, Klaudia Zawadzka, Feroze Abu Hurairah, Jack Tattersall, Chloe Lee, Mae Brooks, Isabel Silva Jeffcoat, Joseph Ricketts, Sonma Enyokwa, Adelaide Shackleford, Lucy Beaumont, Nevin Baiju, Audrey Fok, Jayna Jadvin, Jack Mercer and Anna Stanley.

Chair of governors, Clair Watson, said: "On behalf of the governing body, I would like to congratulate all of our students on their achievements.

"These results are a reflection of the hard work of our young people, the dedication of our staff and the support of parents and carers.

"We wish our students every success as they move on to the next stage of their education and future careers."

Mr Beesley added: "While statistics only ever tell part of the story, we are encouraged by the improvements we have seen in a number of areas, particularly the progress made in narrowing attainment gaps.

"Most importantly, however, today is about recognising the individual achievements of our students and celebrating the bright futures that lie ahead of them."
