Pupils at Forest School, in College Place, got As or A*s in 71 per cent of subjects - an increase on last year.

A third of the year group did not drop below an A and three pupils got only the top grade -Naomi Solomons with 10, Chandni Patel with nine and Sarah Morris also with nine A*s.

School warden Sarah Kerr-Dineen: “The pupils and their teachers deserve to be thrilled with another increase in GCSE results at Forest.

“With over two-thirds of our pupils scoring six or more A* and A grades, they can look forward to a successful sixth form career here.”
