In addition to several students achieving straight 9 grades, over a fifth of Strathallan students scored straight 8/9s and three-fifths achieved five or more 7-9 grades, with 95% achieving at least one top grade.
Among those waiting for their results were Perthshire pupils Rosalind Queen, Madeleine Salins and Sophie Wallwork.
Rosalind Q received nine GCSEs at Grade 9 in subjects ranging from English Literature to Physics
She said, “These results are everything I could have wished for. I’m so pleased to see all my hard work pay off and I’m really proud of my French result.
“I want to go into Engineering so it’s comforting knowing that I’ll be able to move forward with all the doors open because of these results.”
Also receiving results today was pupil Madeleine S. She said her nine GCSEs, which included six Grade 9s, have rewarded all her effort over the last two years.
“My results validate everything I’ve done up to this point. It makes it all worth it.
"I want to go on to study Business-orientated subjects, so just knowing I’ve achieved these results means I know I can push myself to achieve what I want.”
Sophie W who obtained eight Grade 9s and one Grade 7 today, said it’s now time to look ahead.
She said, “I’m really pleased with my results because of how hard the year has been. It has been difficult to keep focused but now we can start to plan ahead.”
Another student celebrating success today was Finn G-R, who received his nine GCSEs 4572 miles away in Kenya.
Finn said he was over the moon to be awarded nine GCSEs at Grades 9-7 in a range of subjects including Biology, Music, Geography and Art.
He said, “Great to see the hard work pay off. I will definitely be celebrating with family and friends tonight.”
Headmaster Mark Lauder said, “These excellent results speak volumes about the determination and hard work of our Fifth Form and their teachers. I am very proud of their results and I warmly congratulate all the students and their families as well as our dedicated staff on their achievements we have had confirmed today.”
Today’s record GCSE results follow exceptional A Level and Higher results released earlier this week, continuing significant academic progress at Strathallan year-on-year.
