PUPILS at The John Henry Newman School in Stevenage have had a bumper crop of good GCSE results.

Niamh Brady, assistant headteacher, said: “We are delighted with this year’s GCSE results.

“Our pupils have achieved 81 per cent A* to C grades, of which over 33 per cent were A* and A grades. “The pupils and staff have worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserve this success, which could never have been achieved without the exceptional support of our parents.”
