The announcement of GCSE results led to a great deal of excitement at Pipers Corner School today. It has been another fantastic year with 98.3% of girls achieving at least 5 GCSEs at grades A*-C.

Overall, 45% of all grades were at A or A* which maintains the school's record of recent years of consistently achieving over 40% top grades. Three quarters of all results were at grade B or above.

There were some outstanding individual achievements including: Hana Lewington - who achieved10 A* grades and 1 A grade, Alena Kretchetova – with 9 A* grades and 1 A grade, Jade Fox - with 8 A* and 3 A grades and Imogen Egan who gained 7 A* and 3 A grades.

Headmistress, Mrs Helen Ness-Gifford said, "I'm immensely proud of all the girls and their achievements. As well as congratulating our top achievers, I'm also delighted with the fantastic results gained by those girls who perhaps were not anticipating to do as well as they did. It just shows that hard work really does pay off and they have all now got a fantastic level of success to build upon as they move into A Level studies."
