Boys and girls at Stockport Grammar School have maintained the School's consistently high academic standards with 90% of all GCSE entries being awarded A* to B grades. Seven pupils were awarded all A* grades, while a further 25 gained a clean sweep of A* and A grades. This year 12 students at the School also pioneered GCSE Spanish, with 8 pupils gaining A* grades.

Headmaster Andrew Chicken said, "We are again celebrating excellent results and are delighted for the pupils who have worked so hard, and for their parents and teachers who have supported and encouraged them. This is the best possible foundation for their A Level Studies."

Alexandra Hicks, Nikesh Mistry, Laura Simpson, Imogen Paul and George Toole were amongst Stockport Grammar School's straight A* successes. Alexandra Hicks gained 10 A* grades and is now planning to study for A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and French. On receiving her results, Alexandra said, "It's really exciting. I was hoping I would do well, but didn't imagine I would do this well."

Following his 10 A* grades, Nikesh Mistry is now going to study for A Levels in Mathematics, Economics, German, Chemistry and Art. Nikesh said: "I was hoping to do well, but I didn't expect to get all A*s. I'm really pleased and am now looking forward to the next challenge of doing well in my A Levels!"

Laura Simpson, who has been at Stockport Grammar School since she was four years old, also secured herself 10 A*s. After receiving her grades, Laura said: "I'm really, really happy. I didn't expect it at all." Laura is now going to study for A Levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Last year, Laura was also the proud winner of the school’s Fifth Form Biology Prize.

When Imogen Paul received her 10 A*s she said, "I'm lost for words. I feel overwhelmed, but happy." Imogen now plans to study A Levels in English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.

George Toole also achieved 10 A*s. Success runs in the family for George; his brother James Toole also attends Stockport Grammar School and last week achieved 4 A grades in his A Levels, plus 2 Distinctions in Advanced Extension Awards in English and Latin and is now set to take up his place to read English at Magdalen College, Oxford. After receiving such outstanding results George is planning to continue his studies at A Level.
