Students at The Garibaldi School, part of Nova Education Trust, are celebrating a great set of exam results today.

James Aldred, head teacher at the Forest Town school. said: “Our students should be really pleased with their achievements again this year. There are some amazing results with a record number of A*s in the mix too.

“These amazing results will enable them to continue their studies at university or move onto the higher level apprenticeships or employment. I wish them all the best for the future.”

Martin Dawson, deputy head teacher, added: “Students have been incredibly focused and diligent this year and have been aspirational in their next step choices for university and apprenticeships for example.

“We’re incredibly proud of everyone’s achievements, but a particular mention for Oskar Nowak who secured three A*s and an A and is going on to study Physics at Jesus College Oxford, and Hannah Smith who secured two A*s and an A and is going on to study Geography at Keble College, Oxford.”

Oskar said: “I am elated by my results and excited about going to Oxford. I can’t wait to further my interests and meet new people.

“But this would never have been possible without the help of my teachers and Miss Hadley.”

Hannah said: “I am absolutely delighted with my results and really excited about the future.”
