FOLLOWING Hereford Cathedral School's crop of top A-level results, the school is now celebrating an excellent set of GCSE grades with a quarter of pupils achieving A* to A grades in all exams.
Emma Parry-Jones and Maisy Spalding were two of six pupils who achieved at least 11 top A* grades while Eliza Baring, Helen Bennett, Rachael Kennedy and Anna Sweetman were awarded 12 A* star grades.
Toby Cotton, Jo Moore, Matthew Owen, Conor Porter, Toby Austin, Ed Harris and Geraint Downing all achieved at least 10 straight A*or A grades.
More than 80 per cent of all grades achieved were above a B grade and 97.8 per cent of students achieved a grade A* to C including English and maths.
Paul Smith, Hereford Cathedral School’s headmaster, said: “These are excellent results and I am delighted for the pupils, the staff and, of course, the pupils’ parents.
“These GCSE results continue the pattern set by our A-level students last week, and explains why the school is increasingly recognised as one of the leading schools in the country.”
