A majority of students at Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School exceeded expectations, according to the headteacher.

Theodora Nickson said she was delighted after the school recorded a 99.4 per cent pass rate.

Among the top performers were Kristen Helmick, who picked up an A* in geography and As in English and history, Sifiso Chasafara, who was awarded As in history, maths and psychology, and Nicky Genova, who got starred distinctions in business and health and social care.

The proud headteacher said: “All our girls are to be congratulated on their dedication and commitment to their studies which have produced such brilliant results alongside the relentless support offered by their teachers.

“We wish all our leavers the very best of luck in the future, and look forward to sharing their future achievements with them.”
