STUDENTS and staff at Freman College are celebrating the college's best ever GCSE results this week.

Eighty per cent of the 188 students taking their GCSEs this year achieved five or more A*-C grades, a four per cent increase on the college's previous best, while 60 per cent of students achieved five or more A*-C grades including English and mathematics.

Thirty per cent of all the results achieved were A* or A grades, yet another college record and a five per cent increase on last year, while a remarkable 16 students achieved 10 or more A and A* grades.

With 98 per cent of students passing at least five GCSEs, students of all abilities shared in the college's success.

"Each year they have been at Freman they have heard how the older students have achieved record breaking results.

"Now they have set a new record themselves. They should feel very proud."
