A Ukrainian teenager who fled the war has achieved top marks at Stroud High School.
Kostya joined the school after leaving Ukraine at the outbreak of war. He scored A* A A in Politics, History and Economics A Levels.
In Year 12 he flourished in the Sixth Form, even becoming a Senior Student Leader. Kostya has earned a place to study Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford University.
Mark McShane, Headteacher said: “It is always a privilege watching the students arrive to receive their results, the nervous anticipation as they arrive, more often than not, replaced by the thrill and sense of excitement as they realise that all of their hard work has paid off. I am super proud of the students in our Sixth Form who along with all of the staff across the school create such a vibrant community here at Stroud High School.
“This year’s A Level results, of which 41% were graded A*-A, and 74% A*-B, are the final acknowledgement of all they have achieved together over the past two years and I could not be more optimistic about what this brilliant year group will go on to achieve in the future.”
