Dozens of students at King Alfred School were celebrating their GCSE results on Thursday morning (August 21st).
51% of the year group achieved five or more passes at grade C or above, much to the delight of teachers.
Dr Diffey, school headteacher, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We are very pleased with this year’s results. The students have worked extremely hard and we are delighted to share in their success.”
He added that there were some outstanding individual performances, with Sarah Banham, Annabelle Frost, William Tasker and Kieran Tippet all achieving eight results at A*/A grades.
Katy McMahon, Lauren Shipway and Alicia Wensley earned seven A*/A grades, while Mark Coles, Dana Haggett, Candice Popham, and Michael Sergison got six of the top grades.
The school achieved a slightly higher 53% pass rate last year, although this year’s results were higher than the 2006 figures.
