Laura McCarthy: tutor in English, Film Studies, Art, and Drama

What a lovely week. I've had brilliant results from all three of my students who have been sitting their GCSEs. I got this wonderful email from one. Another brilliant student phoned to excitedly tell me she got a 7 for each. A third has passed their IGCSE, hitting their predicted grade.

These are all students who have overcome massive challenges and I am so proud of each one. Exam results don't show how creative, clever, and talented they are but it's a relief to know that they've got what they need for their next steps.
