Meanwhile high-achieving year 11 pupils thanked "teachers who truly care".

One academic star was former St Michael's Primary pupil Diana Vorona, who scored four grade 9s, three 8s, three 7s and a 6.

That included an astonishing 9 in Russian.

Meanwhile Faziha Begum, Abdulrahim Bare, Ramin Shah and Zahara Matin were all highlighted for scoring an impressive spread of 7s, 8s, and 9s.

Diana said: "Teachers have given a lot of support. It is personal for them, they truly, truly care for the students."

She also had advice for next year's crop of pupils - Revise early but don't sacrifice sleep.

Headteacher Gary Moore said: "I am extremely proud of the dedication and commitment shown by our Year 11 students this year, and I am delighted to be able to congratulate them on their excellent results."

He also thanked his teaching staff and added: "These results show our students' strong progress, regardless of their starting points, and prepare them for success in the future."
