STUDENTS at Eirias High School in Colwyn Bay celebrated another year of success. The school reported a 100% pass rate with 80% of grades being top As, Bs and Cs.

Headmaster Phil McTague said he was delighted with the results.

"This is rich reward for all those who have worked so hard to produce these outstanding results," he said.

Charlotte Hindley, 18, got four As in maths, physics, German and further maths and is looking forward to studying in Oxford.

"I feel good- I'm going to Oxford to study maths- I kind of expected to get the results, but I was still scared," she said.

Becky Clarke, 18, got a B in French, a B in music and a C in chemistry.

"I'm having a gap year and going to do voluntary work in an orphanage in Thailand, I'm then going to study to become an adult nurse."

Martika Mann, 18, of Old Colwyn got four As in chemistry, biology, maths and art: "I'm delighted, I'm going to study medicine after a gap year- I'm going to celebrate with pink Champagne."

Amy Filbee, 18, from Deganwy got three Cs in maths, biology and IT and plans to become a nurse.

"I'm going to study nursing at John Moores University- I'm going to a foam party to celebrate and I'm looking forward to it very much."

Star pupils Ruth Lewis, 18, Charlotte Hindley, 18, Vincente Solera, 17, and Harry Robinson, 18, all got four As. Harry was over the moon with his results.

"I'm ecstatic, I'm going to celebrate after I ring my parents. I'm going to Cambridge to study engineering," he said.
