WHITBY High School has celebrated its best GCSE results ever.

The long wait for results was well worth it when 92% of students were awarded A*-C grades in their exams.

There were tears of joy and whoops of delight as envelopes were opened, and headteacher Bryn Heeley said he was delighted and ‘very proud indeed’ of his students.

He said: “The continued hard work of the students has seen them achieve excellent results – well done to them all.

“We are delighted with our pupils’ GCSE results; pupils and staff have worked hard to achieve these and hopefully our pupils will have obtained what they need in order to enable them to move on to the next stage of their careers.”
