Other pupils who celebrated an impressive suite of results in August were Holly Winterburn, Luke Hiorns-Boddington, Isabel Heath, Elizabeth Slater and Tom Hughes.

The 2017 GCSE results build on the excellent results seen in previous years. This year, just over a third of grades were at A*-A or equivalent.
Headteacher, Tim Hoyle, said: “As the new Headmaster at Quinton House School, I am delighted to see that so many Year 11 students performed so well in their GCSE examinations. It was a great pleasure for all staff to see so many students exceeding their target grades at all levels and achieving results above their own expectations. There were clearly some notable individual and subject performances.
“Equally, the focus of a Quinton House education is on each individual student working to their full potential and benefiting from the wide range of enrichment opportunities provided. The collective efforts of students, parents and staff clearly produced some impressive results across the cohort.”
