"It is fantastic news and our teachers have put in a great effort to get us up from the 97 per cent we had last year," she said. "We've done a lot of work on pupils by teaching them to be independent learners and critical thinkers.

"Teachers have put in a great amount of effort and the curriculum is fun and enjoyable."
