GCSE results day has been a cause for celebration at Tytherington School.

The class of 2026 returned to the Manchester Road school on Thursday morning, August 20, to collect their results.

Headteacher Manny Botwe says he is proud of the 'resilience and determination' his students have shown over the past five years.

He said: "A huge well done to the GCSE class of 2026!

"We are incredibly proud of what our students have achieved.

"These results reflect a great deal of hard work, grit and determination from our young people, alongside the tremendous support they have received from staff and families throughout their time at Tytherington.

"Following our excellent A-level results last week, it is wonderful to see our year 11 students celebrating their own successes today.

"We are delighted for them and excited to see what they go on to achieve next."

While there are many students deserving of praise, Tytherington School have highlighted a number who 'exemplify the achievement, character and contribution of the entire year group'.

Daisy Foley achieved seven grade 9s while making a huge contribution to the wider life of the school, including taking part in numerous drama productions. She has also represented Cheshire East in the Youth Parliament and spoken in the House of Commons.

Ash Radmall, meanwhile, managed to achieve a full set of grade 9s in every subject taken.

There was also success for Luke Beardmore, who capped off his time as a year 11 pupil by DJ-ing at the prom and earning an strong positive progress score.

Tytherington School has also highlighted the results of Elyse Chai, Sureya Morgan, Megan Radmall, Madeleine Buckley, Nathan Coombes, Aisha McKeever-Abbas, Beatrice Worrell, Mohamed Yousif, Amelia Smith and Lily Stringer.

Head of year 11 Cath Linaker and deputy headteacher Andy Pilbury have expressed their pride in the class of 2026.

Mr Pilbury said: "We are thrilled with what the Class of 2026 have achieved and, just as importantly, with the young people they have grown to become.

"The achievements of this year group extend far beyond examination results.

"Throughout their time at Tytherington, they have made fantastic contributions to the performing arts, sport and the wider life of the school.

"Their talent, commitment and positive attitude have been a real feature of this cohort.

"We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to seeing them flourish as they take their next steps."
