LAWRENCE Sheriff students have bettered the school’s teacher-assessed GCSE grades during the pandemic, as results begin to return to pre-pandemic levels.
At the school, 30 per cent of all GCSEs scored a top grade 9, and 54 per cent recorded a grade 8 or 9.
Notably, 31 students achieved all grade 7s and above – and students Sriram Gunesan and Sriram Chakka both achieved a clean sweep of 12 grade 9s.
Headteacher Teresa Mpofu said: “I am in awe of our students and the tenacity they have shown. They have worked incredibly well with their teachers to prove that hard work and determination can overcome almost any obstacle.
“I am delighted that, despite everything the last two years has thrown at them, they are full of character and have a great sense of fun. As most of them will be joining our sixth form, I am looking forward to what the next two years will bring.
“I am equally in awe of our staff who consistently go above and beyond to support our students.”
