Family matters

There was a fantastic atmosphere at Maricourt Catholic High School and Maricourt Sixth Form Centre on both results days. Not only was the school very proud of the incredible results, but also the spirit of the phenomenal young people blew staff away.

The pupils were just as excited to share their friends’ results, as they were their own.

Year 13 student, Megan secured 3 A*s and will now study biochemistry at the University of Oxford.

Year 11 students, Sophie and Anjelu opened their GCSE results together alongside friends Sinead and Olivia, the excitement at seeing a page full of 9s and 8s is a memory that will last the pupils a lifetime.

Headteacher, Joseph Mangan said: “At Maricourt, all our students stand out to us as they are all amazing in their own special way.

“The parents and carers loved being in on the action as pupils received their results, and the school will always be grateful for their ongoing support.”

Danielle Lawler, assistant headteacher at Maricourt, said: “Well done to all Year 13 students, we are so proud of you all, we will miss you and look forward to catching up next term to hear about your new adventures.”
