Students at Plymouth College are celebrating after receiving their GCSE results.
Top performer was James Douie with 11 A*s. Close on his heels were Kevin Vandabona with 10A*s and 1 A, Harry McEleny with 9A*s and 1 A, Paul Vallis with 8A*s and 2As and Annabel Norris with 7A*s and 3As. Incredibly, Kevin and Paul got A*s in A Level Maths last week while James got an A grade. James and Paul also got As in the Certificate in Financial Studies (CeFS), which is equivalent to an AS Level, while Kevin secured a B.
An increasing number of students are taking IGCSEs, a more rigorous qualification than normal GCSEs, which saw a pass rate of 92.2%. The overall A* to C pass rate was 85%.
“Congratulations to all our student receiving their GCSE results today,” said Plymouth College Headmaster, Dr Simon Wormleighton. “We are a non-selective school with a number of students for whom English is not their first language so this is a particularly pleasing set of results.
“James, Kevin and Paul have done extremely well gaining top grades in A Level Maths two years early on top of their remarkable GCSE results and their grades in the CeFS.”
