A TOTAL of 70 sixth form students at Catholic High School in Chester received their A Level results this morning.

They have been praised by teachers at their school for their "resilience" despite three years of “huge disruption”.

Bernadette Letissier, director of sixth form, was among the leadership team present on the day at the Handbridge-based school, offering support and advice to students.

Students celebrating included David Brylowski, who achieved A in Computer Science, A in Maths and B in Physics.

He will be heading off to study Civil Engineering at University of Manchester.

Mrs Letissier said: “Despite never having sat external exams, the students have done exceptionally well and we are so proud of every single one of them.

"They have shown tenacity and resilience beyond their years and we wish them every success in their future.”

The students will now be automatically entered into the highly successful Alumni group which now has more than 1,500 members, spanning across the 50 school years at the school.
