“I have worked very hard to achieve these grades but I couldn’t have done it without the support of my amazing teachers at Kings Monkton who were always willing to help at any time for any matter.”
She added: “It was the culmination of two years of hard work. I even started crying with joy. It still hasn’t sunk in just yet. It just seems so surreal. I finally got the results I’ve always thought was a dream.
“I’m not sure what I’m doing to celebrate yet, perhaps catch up on yesterday’s sleepless night.”
