Dr Challoner's Grammar School GCSE results

16-year-old Kabir said: "It's great. The month of exams and the hard work put in paid off. It was a bit of a shock - you don't expect 13 A*s. I couldn't have hoped for better. I am definitely coming back to sixth form. The school's reputation and results are proven to be good and I enjoy it here."
Kabir plans to return in September to the school in Chesham Road, Amersham, to study for AS levels in chemistry, physics, maths, further maths and history after a well-earned break.
Charlie Coles, 16, of Chorleywood, said he was 'delighted' after he saw his seven A*s and three As. He said: "I was really nervous and couldn't believe they were so good - I didn't think I would get an A* in geography."
Happy Dan Loach gained eight A*s and three A grades. The 16-year-old from Amersham said shared his secret to success with the Examiner - 'revise very hard'. He planned to celebrate with a trip to the Reading Festival.
Headteacher Mark Fenton said: "This is another truly outstanding set of results - this year group deserves great credit for matching the record results achieved last year. In one respect, the boys have gone one better this year in that a remarkable 77 per cent of the grades they achieved were A* or A - a new record.
"Results like this do not happen by chance. A great deal of effort is put in by the students, along with a huge input of inspiration and encouragement from their teachers - with the occasional bit of cajoling which teenagers often need to achieve their best.
"All the staff here at Challoner's, as well as the parents, will be rightly proud of the boys' achievements."
