At Preston Manor School, pupils and staff marked a strong set of results, with many students achieving top grades and improvements seen in English and Maths.

Miya Duerte-Singh earned eight grade 9s and will go on to study A-levels in English literature, art, and history.

Aarya Patel also performed well, achieving six grade 9s including English, maths, biology, French, and history. She will now take A-levels in maths, further maths, physics, and chemistry.

Aarya said: "I’m very proud of myself and I give most of the credit to my teachers who pushed me hard to get to this stage. "I hope to go and study Mechanical Engineering at Cambridge after my A-levels."

Other high achievers included Prince Gyang, Riva Dias, Zaina Hussein, Serafina Bhudia, and Chloe Vithanage, who received grade 7s, 8s, and 9s in most subjects. Their success was credited to "consistent support, effort, and dedication."

Ms Dixon, head of year 11, said she was "extremely proud" of the students, saying: "It’s been an incredible five-year journey where they have consistently shown great dedication and hard work.

"These results reflect all their efforts in that time. I am very grateful for all the continuous and fantastic support from parents and staff which has been so beneficial for our young people."

Secondary headteacher Mr Phillips said the results reflect the school’s ongoing progress, saying: "I’m delighted to have seen so many of our students with smiles on their faces.

"There have been some real success stories today and our students should be proud of their achievements. I wish all of them the very best of luck in the next phase of their education journey."
