MONK’S Walk School picked up its best ever set of GCSE results today (Thursday).

Figures released by the school show 70 per cent of pupils were awarded five A* to C grades, including English and maths.

And excluding those two subjects, 93 per cent attained five A* to Cs.

On top of that, 24 per cent got at least five A* or A grades.

Headteacher Kate Smith: “We are delighted with the GCSE results which come on top of last week’s excellent A-levels.

“Congratulations must go to our students, but also to our staff and parents.

“I am proud of everyone who has worked so hard to achieve such great outcomes.”
