Manuella Kanter, 16, of Barnet achieved 11A*s. She said: "I was predicted these grades but I wasn't sure I was going to get them. It was really stressful but it's all rewarding if it comes down to this. I feel quite drained but relieved."
Dr Nina Cook, Head of Years 10 and 11 at the Maresfield Gardens school, said:
"They are a wonderful year group and they should be very proud of themselves.
