Headteacher Alison Pearson said: " This year was very disrupted, with loads of sick staff and students, so to get through that and keep going, it's amazing, and they got some brilliant results.

"They deserve it, they worked hard for them."

Sophia Siddi, one of the school's top students, achieved a 9 in English and 9 in Maths, and she is so happy with the results, and can't wait to celebrate with her friends over chocolate cake.

But this day was not just emotional for pupils and staff, according to Malden Rangelova, another student from The Marches, her parents were also moved as she recalls "there were a few tears."
