STUDENTS at Middlewich High School have 'truly excelled' this year after collecting their GCSE results.

Dozens of pupils popped into the King Edward Street school this morning to find out their grades and celebrate with their families, friends and teachers.

The fantastic grades are the culmination of two years' hard work, which the school says is a testament to the youngsters' 'commitment to learning and aspirations for excellence'.

After her first year in the role, head teacher Lydia Naylor said: "Our students have truly excelled this year, and their GCSE results are a testament to their hard work and determination.

"The progress we’ve made as a school is evident in these results, and we couldn't be more proud of each and every one of our students.

"They have shown incredible resilience and commitment, and these achievements are something they should all be extremely proud of. 

"Our dedicated staff have played a crucial role in guiding and supporting our students, providing high-quality teaching and constant encouragement throughout the year.

"I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to both our students and staff for their outstanding efforts.
