Wells GCSE focus: Wells Blue results look promising

The streets of Wells were buzzing early this morning as hundreds of GCSE students took a deep breath an then headed into school to collect their results.

Wells Blue was the scene of relief for some and considerable jubilation for most as two years' study culminated in more record-breaking results for the school.

Every student WellsPeople spoke to, said they were intending to return to the Blue in September to study for A-Levels confirming the academic excellence the school offers. We spoke to a number of folks pictured in the gallery.

Image 1 features Megan Hennessey who was relieved to have passed maths and is going to study professional cooking next year to fulfil her desire of becoming a chef. She was inspired by her mother who ran a restaurant. With her is Natalie German who was delighted to see she had passed history and could now continue her studies to become a graphic designer.

Image 2 is of Emily Ruff and Harriet Bown who are both returning to the Blue to study A-levels in the autumn.

Image 3 depicts Alex Shaw (left) and Wilfred Armstrong (right) who were quite laid-back about their outstanding results. Wilfred achieved 6 A*'s, 4 A's and 2 B's and will now be studying A-levels to further him in his pursuit of becoming an architect. Alex achieved 9 A*'s and 1B this year and we believe he also had 2 CGSE's which he took the previous year like Wilfred. He is hoping to read Maths at Cambridge and has a very bright future.

Did you or you friends get some ace results worth shouting about? We'd love to hear from you – simply post your comments below.
