School celebrates 100% pass rate
Students at Manchester High School for Girls were celebrating today with a 100% pass rate for all 87 A-Level pupils.
One of the many success stories was 17-year-old Wing-Sham Lee of Salford.
She got six As in maths, further maths, biology, chemistry, art and Chinese - despite working five nights a week in her parents' takeaway.
"I think when you don't have as much free time you study more instead of leaving your revision to the last minute," said Wing-Sham, who is going to Cambridge University to study Natural Sciences.
"I wasn't expecting to do so well. Those who criticise and say A-Levels are getting easier are not the ones taking them."
Headteacher Christine Lee-Jones said she was "thrilled" at the 100% pass rate.
She said: "It's down to the hard work of the students and teachers.
"My heart sinks every year when the debate about A-Levels, and if they are becoming easier, arises.
"It's so disappointing and it demeans the hard work and efforts of all the students and staff."
