Mr Moore said that, although it would be impossible to relate all of many individual success stories, special mention should go to the ten pupils who had achieved 10 or more A*s: Samuel Adams, Bryan Barr, Daniel Capper, Sarah Chapman, Nicholas Cheung, Matthew Gracey, Michael Grieve, Chrissy Hopkins, Ellie Luke and Harry Moore. A further 12 pupils achieved 9A*s and 1 A grade, with a total of 65 pupils – almost half of the year group – achieving ten GCSEs at A*/A.
