PUPILS at Darland High School are celebrating their GCSE results.
Outstanding pupils include Natalie Cox, who achieved nine A*s and two As, Emily Harris, who gained four A*s and five As, and Oliver Post, with three A*s and seven As.
Headteacher Chris Hughes said: "This year we have seen a significant increase in the range of subjects studied by pupils.
"GCSE courses remain very popular with more choice than ever now for this traditional qualification.
"However, we have also seen increased take-up of equivalent non-GCSE skills and vocational courses.
"More than 95% of Darland pupils gained accreditation in 5 or more subjects this year
"Whilst I am obviously delighted with the results and enormously pleased for the pupils and their parents; I want to congratulate colleagues for their hard work and professionalism."
