GCSE Results Day - Ben, Fatima & Maya's Story

Head Prefects Ben and Fatima, and Senior Prefect Maya, were three of our top achievers, here they tell us how they got on with their GCSE results...

Ben

Head Boy Ben was happiest with his English Literature result. 

“I expected a 5 or 6 and I got a 7 so that was amazing! 

“I got five Grade 8s as well. I want to go to Newman College and study History, Geography, Politics and Maths. I want to be a lawyer.” 

Fatima

Head Girl Fatima was absolutely delighted with her results. 

“I failed my history mock examination but got an 8 so I am amazed!” 

She also got three Grade 7s among her results and will go to Newman College and do a BTEC in Sport and a Biology A-Level as she wants to be a physiotherapist.  

“I am so happy,” she added. 

Maya

Maya was the top performer at Priory. She achieved three Grade 9s and four Grade 8s and a Level 2 Distinction Star in Engineering. 

“I was hoping for good grades but did not know if I would get them. I am especially pleased with some of my Grade 8s as I thought I may get a 6 or 7 in some. The Engineering qualification was something extra in case I want to do an apprenticeship in the future. 

“I want to go to Hutton Sixth Form and do Business and History and another subject, I haven’t yet decided.”
