FLHS Students Celebrate their Success

Fred Longworth High School students were celebrating their hard-earned achievements as they collected their GCSE results today. There were smiling faces all around as students realised they had met the challenge of the new, more rigorous exams.

Many students achieved a crop of top grades, with top performers including Ben Betts, Alice Davidson, Orouwa Isibor, Amelia Jones, Danielle Ruthven, Benjamin Pritchard and Ellen Senior.

We are proud of the achievements of all our students and recognise that these results could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of students, staff and parents. The excited discussions between students and their teachers today underlined how strong the partnership between staff and students has been for this year group.

Head of Year Mr Fallows was particularly delighted to see the students do so well and Mrs Janet Garretts, Headteacher, said, “It’s always exciting to watch the students receiving their results and looking forward to the next exciting stage in their lives. Well done to all of our students, and the teachers and parents who worked with them to make these results possible”.
