Priory Community School Academy's (PCSA) year 11 students excelled across every subject in their GCSEs, with some fantastic individual efforts.

Charlotte Thorpe secured 10 grade 9s and one grade 8 while Charlie Lock achieved seven grade 9s and two grade 7s.

Head boy Tom Harding achieved nine grade 9s and one grade 8 and head girl Ruby Minty collected seven grade 9s, three grade 8s and 1 distinction.

Both of them will embark on medical careers after their A Levels.

Tom has been working at an NHS Medical Practice in Nailsea since April, helping to administrate the Covid-19 vaccination programme.

Tom said: “I’m delighted at my results. I really like helping people and I find medicine really fascinating.

"Part of my job is helping with the Covid vaccination programme and I have seen how it affects everyone.”

PCSA principal Angelos Markoutsas said: “To say we are proud of our students is an understatement.

“Throughout the past 18 months they have shown drive, determination and courage alongside great compassion.

“Today was a wonderful opportunity to be able to celebrate students’ achievements and to wish to them well in their future endeavours.”
