A student at a Rickmansworth sixth form has got “great” grades and is off to a top university.
Eleanor Mayhew, a pupil from The Royal Masonic School for Girls has achieved three A*’s and is going to Cambridge to study Veterinary Medicine.
She had studied Biology, Chemistry and Maths at the sixth form.
The 18-year-old said: “I found the exams very tough as they were very different to the practice papers I had done but I am so proud of myself for achieving what I did.
“My teachers gave me a lot of support and I am very proud of everyone in my year.”
She was one of the students who were affected by Covid, and she noticed how hard it has been for her cohort.
