THE headteacher of Catholic High School said she was proud to see students get the GCSE results they deserved after a challenging 18 months.

Cathryn McKeagney, headteacher, said: "Today we were able to witness our hard-working students get the results they deserved after such a challenging 18 months in school.

"We are so pleased to welcome back so many of our students into our Sixth Form as they join us with an excellent foundation which will cement their future.
