"RESILIENT and determined" students at the Catholic High School in Chester are celebrating a successful set of A-level results.

The school says there is no doubt that the national lockdowns during the students' time in sixth form, as well as occasions where they had to self-isolate, presented challenges for both them and staff.

But it added: "They have worked together and once again established our sixth form as a leading light in Chester.

"We are extremely proud of our young people and we wish them every success with the next chapter of their lives."
