Teen hospitalised during exams celebrates GCSE success

A teen who was admitted into hospital in the midst of exam season found out she had smashed her GCSEs today.

Bethany Stammers from Southport found herself in hospital ahead of her third round of exams as her eating disorder, along with the stress of exams, meant she was fatigued and unable to function. Following her second religious education exam, she went to a history revision session where she was unable to focus.

The decision was made for her to go into hospital while she recovered, with her school, Christ the King High School, contacting exam boards to ensure the 16-year-old wasn't penalised for her condition and time spent in hospital.
