Unpacking the suitcases
Please see attached std 7 national results. I am so pleased that
our children have done their very best, this class had a lot of mixed
ability children, most of the children were average. Out of 33
pupils who took the exam 9 children achieved an A average, 21 Bs
and 3 Cs. I honestly did not expect to get these results, so I am
very pleased with the results. You will also be pleased to know
that Abigail is one of the children who got an A average.
Here is the link to the results
