GCSE Results Day 2020: 'Remarkable' results for Ellesmere Port Catholic High School

"It has been a challenging and unprecedented year and our students have shown real maturity and resilience throughout"

Ellesmere Port Catholic High School has praised its pupils for achieving 'remarkable' GCSE results.

Caroline Vile, headteacher of the Whitby-based school, singled out two students for their impressive results after a "challenging and unprecedented" year.

Mrs Vile said: "We are absolutely delighted with our GCSE results.

"It has been a challenging and unprecedented year and our students have shown real maturity and resilience throughout and as a result have been rewarded for their hard work during the three years of their GCSE studies.

"There were some spectacular individual successes and our school has also exceeded the pattern of improvement it has seen over the past few years.

"Some of our students achieved remarkable results with Jack Bowers and Joseph Hayes receiving 9 GCSEs of grades 7-9, with Joseph gaining 8 grade 9s overall.

"Our students deserve these impressive grades and we are in no doubt that they would have achieved similar results if they had been allowed to sit their GCSE exams."

Ellesmere Port Catholic High School also wished their leaving students well for the future.
