Students at Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School in St Albans have achieved record results for the third year in a row.

This year’s GCSE marks exceeded government targets with a number of students scoring grades A* and A.

Pupil Ewan Wilson, who achieved the highest grades in the year, said: “I would like to thank all my teachers who have supported me on my journey.

“These grades have enabled me to continue my education at Nicholas Breakspear Sixth Form, where I will be studying maths, history and biology.”

Headteacher, Declan Linnane, added: “I am incredibly proud of this year group as they have achieved record-breaking results.

“I would like to thank the teachers and support staff who have taught and guided our students so effectively.”
