At a Churcher's College garden reception students collected certificates alongside some of the College teachers who have guided them to success, including outgoing headmaster Simon Williams. Churcher's College says this year's results are the best outside the Covid years. They show that 67.1% of results were either A or A* grades, and that 99.1% were C grade or above. 151 candidates took exams at the school this year. GCSE results come out next week - Churcher's College, The Petersfield School and Ditcham Park school all have students who are awaiting their grades eagerly.
