Ryde School pupils celebrate 'rare' marks in GCSE English
Ryde School pupil Hannah Ewens achieved a very impressive result of 500 out of 500 marks for her recent English and English Literature GCSEs, narrowly beating her fellow classmate, Michael Foster, who only dropped one mark across the two subjects to score 499 out of 500. The examination board, OCR, described the results as 'highly unusual' and 'very rare' and praised the pupils' exceptional performance. The school's Headmaster, Dr Nicholas England, said that he was delighted that Hannah and Michael's hard work and dedication had been rewarded so highly, and that such outstanding marks were clear evidence of the quality of the teaching and learning at Ryde School.
