Exam Success is a Family Affair

It’s always a pleasure to celebrate the twin successes of siblings at Standish, but this year we get to go one better and celebrate an amazing treble! In fact, between the Mayalls, Burtons and Whitters this year, the siblings have amassed a staggering 69 GCSEs and B-Techs between them – including an impressive five Grade 9s!

Triplets, Jack, Tom and Sam arrived to pick up their results together. When asked whether they were supportive as a group or competitive, Jack said, “a bit of both to be honest!” Tom said he was planning on studying maths, physics and engineering or maybe chemistry. “I’m really proud of my chemistry result: I got a Grade 9!”

Twins Sonny and Zak have a similar approach to sibling rivalry. Sonny said, “I do enjoy beating him at stuff when I can but I’m also really happy when he does well. He’s done brilliantly in his English!” Zak added, “I’m delighted to have passed my maths – I was a bit worried about it last night!” Zak is planning on going to Runshaw to pursue a career in graphic design.

We also spoke to Heidi and Henry, with Heidi admitting, “he’s much more competitive than me! But I’ve got to say I’m very proud of him!” Henry, who said that he couldn’t sleep last night due to nerves, added, “I’m most proud of my Spanish result. It’s my highest but I had to work at it – it wasn’t easy! I want to thank Miss Brass too for all her support.”

Everyone at Standish would like to wish all the students and their families a massive congratulations on their success.
