Lymm High School students celebrate exceptional GCSE results

DESPITE the disruption of the pandemic Year 11 students at Lymm High School performed exceptionally well with their GCSE results.

There were so many individual success stories, but at the very top of the tree came Thea Benson and Eve Kayll, both of whom registered absolutely perfect performances, with grade 9s in all ten of the subjects they entered.
Thea and Eve were closely followed by a select group who scored the top grade 9 in nine of the nine or ten subjects they entered. These were: Erin Allsup, Thomas Anderson, Ella Brabin, Alex Feyler, Charlotte Liu, Benjamin Hutchison, Lucy Quayle, Anna Shaw, Charlotte Storey and Lucy Williams.

Miss Taylor, Assistant Headteacher, said: “These are truly extraordinary performances, especially given how many exams are involved and how challenging GCSEs are these days.”
Miss Taylor also paid tribute to those students achieving grades 8 or 9 in at least nine different subjects: Charlotte Baker, Thomas Davies, Luca Rocher, Lili-Ann Simpson, Remi Tavernier, Ella Yates, Asya Bagan, Thomas Bettridge, Hannah Davies, Florence Fitzgerald, Edward Godber, Benjamin Gomm, Robin Holden, Sam Hulse, Freya Jackson, Isabella Lloyd, Josef Peel, Ella Scobie, Kate Thompson and Isabel Williams.
Miss Taylor added: “I take my hat off to these students for achieving such fantastic results – they have had to work so hard to get there and the outcomes are so well-deserved. Watching this year group dealing with all the uncertainty and the disruption has been truly inspirational and today has been really quite emotional!”

Headteacher, Mr Gwyn Williams, said: “Given all the volatility with exams over the past three years, it wouldn’t be appropriate at the moment to focus on overall percentages or comparisons with previous years. However, what I will say is that we can see already that Lymm High School students have done brilliantly again.
“Huge credit must go to all those in Year 11 who have worked so hard to realise these results in the face of some really challenging circumstances. I’ve said it many times during the last year or two, but the way this group of young people have coped with everything that has been thrown at them has been extraordinary. Whilst I’m not at all surprised to see how well they’ve done today, I am delighted for them. Equally, I’m so pleased for all those parents and carers who have had the often very difficult task of keeping children focused and motivated throughout Year 10 and 11. However hard staff have worked (and they have had to work harder than ever) results like these are always the product of a successful partnership between home and school and everyone associated with the Lymm High School can feel proud of what has been achieved.”
