Year 11 students received a warm welcome back to Penryn College on Thursday morning, as they joined their families and

members of staff to collect their GCSE results.

Despite a different structure to the usual Exam Results Day celebrations, pupils shared their result-revealing moments with their loved ones and school staff.

Reflecting on the accomplishments of the students, Headteacher, Paul Walker, said:

"We are so proud of this year group - they have come through these testing times with such bravery and determination. They thoroughly deserve their hard-earned grades, that reflect over 10 years of education with the support of their loved ones and school staff.

"As a community, we should be proud of the phenomenal progress that many individuals have made during their time at Penryn College.

"It has been a privilege to witness not only their fantastic academic achievements, but also their contributions to sport, creative arts, and selfless work for the school and the local community.

"They leave the school as excellent, hardworking young adults, that

everyone can be proud of, and I wish them the very best of luck for the future."

Former Head Girl, Dora Revell, expressed her delight in earning four grade 9s and ambitions for the future. She added:

"I'm so pleased with my results. I was feeling a bit anxious beforehand, but in the end, everything turned out so well.

"In September, I would like to study English Literature, English Language, Politics, and Psychology at Truro College. After that, I would love to go to university, maybe to study journalism."
