Falmouth School students celebrated a great set of GCSE results this morning, following a whirlwind time during their studies.

Interim Headteacher Alex George told Nub News the students had continued to work hard despite a challenging year, with covid, and lockdowns to deal with.

The school said they continued to be positive and friendly, and they are delighted with their success.

In terms of final outcomes, there were many with amazing results and also those who have made fantastic progress over their time in the school.

Kieran attained a fantastic set of results with grades 9, 8, A* or Distinction* in every subject he took.

Lauren achieved 6 grade 9s and a Distinction*, whilst Gabriel, Harriette, and Lucie all achieved top grades 8 or 9 in 10 subjects.

These top attainers were chased closely by Nia, Connor, Jacob, and Jasmine, who completed the top ten attaining students.

Students making the most progress over their time in the school were Erin, Jasmine, Anna, Ella, and Gracie.

Those students made an average of more than three grades higher than would have been expected when compared to national averages.

Other students in the top ten for progress were Thea, Henry, Emmi, Phoebe, and Lucie, who all achieved more than 2½ grades higher on average than national expectations.

Alex George commented:

"Year 11 is always a challenging year for students, but this year group have faced more than any other; yet they have continued to work hard, support each other, and are growing into an open and friendly group of young adults.

"It is wonderful to be able to celebrate how well they have all achieved and it has been a privilege to see them develop over their time in Falmouth School.

"Staff have enjoyed working with this year group and have been delighted that their hard work can be recognised in their results. I look forward to seeing many of them move on into our post-16 provision in Falmouth College. We wish every one of them the best for the future."
