THERE was three cheers for The Amersham School last week after they celebrated their best ever GCSE results.

Seventy three per cent of students achieved five or more A*-C passes with 65 per cent gaining five passes including English and maths.

Star performers included Caitlin Hughes who achieved eight A*s and three As, Emma Kennedy-Flanagan also gained six As and three A*s and Thomas Smith who got four As and five A*s.

Headteacher Sharon Jarrett said: "This year group are the result of our dedication to providing a first class education.

"The school, its staff, students and its structure has willingly undergone vast changes in the last five years and I am delighted, although not surprised, that our adopted strategies have culminated in these excellent examination results.

"This year Ofsted recognised Amersham School is a good school with outstanding features and these results certainly back this judgement."
