Prince William School student Rosie Leuchars, who achieved 5 grade 9s and 4 grade 8s.

The hard work has paid off for students at Prince William School in Oundle after they picked up their GCSE results today.

A total of 75 per cent of students attained grade 4 or above in both English and maths, while 54 per cent of students attained grade 5 or above in both English and maths.

Among the school’s highest achievers are: Florrie Loseby (nine grade 9s), Phoebe Stimpson (nine grade 9s and a grade 8), Isabelle Tyler (eight grade 9s and two grade 8s), Bethany Dodman (seven grade 9s and three grade 8s) and Rosie Leuchars (five grade 9s and four grade 8s).

Year 11 students have seen their final year of GCSE study disrupted due to Covid-19 and have not been in school full-time since March, but were able to return to school today to collect their results.

Headteacher Elizabeth Dormor said: “I have huge admiration for our Year 11 students who have had an incredibly difficult end to their KS4 studies.

“They should be very proud of the results they’ve received today, which reflect their hard work during Year 10 and 11, and I would like to thank all our fantastic staff for their hard work and the support they have given our students.

“I wish all our students the very best of luck in their next steps, whether they are continuing their studies with us in the sixth form or choosing another learning or vocational path.”
