"These results are a testament to students' tenacity and continued hard work throughout the year, and during their entire secondary school life."

Heidi Thurland, Headteacher at Congleton High School, added: "We are absolutely delighted with the achievements of each and every one of our students.

"Behind every grade is a story of hard work, courage and resilience. Our students are going on to fantastic futures with many choosing to join our 6th Form College. We are so proud of them; it has been our privilege to help shape them into the amazing young adults they are today.

"I would like to take this opportunity to wish each of our students every success in their futures. For those who are coming to our Sixth Form College, we cannot wait to see you."
