Teenagers across Wirral have been commended by the council after a number of schools recorded "outstanding" GCSE results this morning.
Students across the borough have endured a "trying" time in recent years owing to the pandemic, but many have seen their hard work vindicated by securing top grades today. At Wirral Grammar School for Girls, in Bebington, more than 75% of students were awarded the very highest grades of 9-7.
The top grades of 9-8 rose to 54% and over 90% of all grades were at grades 9-6. An exceptional 63 pupils gained 10 or more 9-7 grades, with headteacher Elaine Cogan attributing the school's success at both GCSE and A level to the self-motivation of the students and the high standards of teaching and learning within the school.
