Pupils from Queenswood School in Hatfield celebrated their success after picking up their GCSE results.

The pupils acheived 84 per cent A* to B grades.

In maths, 50 per cent of all candidates received an A*, while two thirds of pupils who took French and Spanish were awarded A*s.

Latin was recently reintroduced into the curriculum, and 100 per cent of candidates achieved an A*.

Almost half of the year group received at least eight A* to A grades, with one pupil amassing an impressive 14 A*s.

Queenswood’s new headteacher, Jo Cameron, said: “We are very pleased with these GCSE results.

“They represent a great deal of hard work and commitment on the part of the girls and the staff, and are proof of the exceptional ‘added value’ of a Queenswood education.

“Our girls now enter the Sixth Form with real confidence as they embark upon their chosen A-level and Pre-U courses.”
