Angmering students celebrate GCSE success

Two years of hard work paid off, with 58 per cent of students gaining more than five A*-C grades, the best result since 2006, and 48 per cent gaining more than five A*-C grades including maths and English, up five per cent on last year.

Head teacher David Brixey said: "I am very grateful to all of our teachers who worked very hard to make sure that all of our students gained the best possible results.

"It is significant for us that English and maths were subjects that performed well, and had a big impact on improving our overall performance."

It was a particularly good results for 12 students, including two sets of twins, who all gained eight or more A* and A grades.

Alex and Tom Chamberlain achieved one A* and nine As, and seven A* and two As respectively, Josh Deakin was awarded three A*s and six As, and sister Lucy eight A*s and one A.

Michelle Brown gained eight A* and two As, Richard Chalkley one A* and seven As, and Dan Shiels' result sheet showed two A*s and eight As.

Sam Skilton was proud of two A*s and six As, and Andrew White gained six A*s and three As.

Mr Brixey added that he was looking forward to welcoming back a record number of students into the school's sixth form college in the coming weeks.

Carrie Brixey, year team leader, said: "I have worked with this group of students for five years and I have loved it! The students have done themselves and their school proud."
