The headteacher of Eckington School has congratulated his Year 11 students on their '˜excellent' GCSE results.

Patrick Cummings said his students had done ‘exceptionally well’ and had matched national scores in English and mathematics at A*-C (or 9-4 as they are now called).

In Science, A/A*and A*-C results exceeded national results and across all subjects total awards at A*/A jumped to nearly 20%.

He also singled out a number of the school’s high flyer’s for particular attention.
