The headteacher of Lister Community School has said GCSE pupils have a “great future ahead of them” after receiving their grades.

Three pupils achieved seven 9s each among their results, with others also picking up a handful of top marks.

These included Abdulkadir Dalib and head boy Faris Qureshi, who both achieved seven 9s and four 8s.

Jayden Aranas achieved seven 9s, two 8s and one 7, while Habibul Salik achieved six 9s and four 8s and Najih Muadhun achieved five 9s, four 8s and one 6.

Headteacher Anthony Wilson said “These young people have missed out on many of the experiences of their last year in school, but we are so relieved that they have the results they deserve.

“They are a fantastic and positive group, and have a great future ahead of them, and we hope they can all celebrate today.”
