A Chorleywood secondary school has congratulated its pupils on their “exceptional” GCSE results as top grades were awarded in almost half of subjects. 

St Clement Danes School said students will now have the opportunity to move onto their next “exciting steps” after 46 per cent of entrants achieved grades seven to nine (A-A*).

Teenagers were pictured smiling and laughing as they opened their result envelopes this morning after two years of studying.
