Northwood School students are celebrating their "outstanding" set of GCSE results today.

With many students out-performing their targets, there was a flood of top grades and individual performances.

Amongst the high flyers was Paul Larbi, who achieved a stunning 9 grade 9s.

He said: “I am so delighted with my results and I can’t thank the teachers enough for all the support they’ve given me. Northwood is a fantastic school. They really care about every student. With these grades I feel I can do anything."

Mark Anderson, headteacher, said: “I am so happy for the students. None of this would have happened without the hard work and dedication of the students themselves, combined with the unstinting support they’ve had from their teachers and parents.

"I am proud of each and every student.”

He also said how this year's results cannot be compared with those of last year's.

He added: “Though the changes to this year’s GCSE exam mean results cannot be compared with those of previous years, I am delighted how staff and students have responded to the demands of these more challenging GCSEs.

"Once again it looks as though our students will have made significantly better progress than students nationally.”
