Jon Hampson, head of Soham Village College, has congratulated his students this afternoon (August 22) after they opened up their results envelopes.

As well as 75 per cent achieving A*-C grades, more than 100 students managed to get the equivalent of an A*-A in three more subjects.

Stand-out successors were including Benjamin Revie who gained the top grade in nine of his subjects.

Other students who achieved the very highest grade in many of their subjects included Max Airey; Adam Bristow and Millie Churley.

"We congratulate them and wish them every success for the next phase of their education or training."
