A LICHFIELD secondary school is celebrating after students collected their GCSE results.

King Edward VI saw 246 pupils – its largest ever GCSE cohort – receive their grades today (22nd August).

Headteacher Jane Rutherford said:

> “We are incredibly proud of our students.  
>  
> “Many of them have had to overcome their own personal challenges but they have done this by working with staff, parents and carers to achieve their goals.  
>  
> “Whether students are returning to our Sixth Form or going on to courses and apprenticeships elsewhere we wish them the very best for the future. “

The school saw 90% of students achieve a grade 4 or above in English, while 86% achieved the same result in maths.

Nearly 40% of students gained one or more grades 7-9 in Maths or English.

Elsewhere, 60% of students taking Art received a grade 7-9.
