Award for top student

A WORKSOP student has been honoured for his achievements in his GCSE exams at Retford’s Elizabethan Academy.

Peter Cowburn received the Bob Hopley Award for Unique and Distinctive Achievement.

Peter, who is now doing A Levels at Retford Post-16, left year 11 with 13 and a half A* grades at GCSE - making him the highest achieving student in Bassetlaw this year.

He said: “It was a great success for me because I’ve worked really hard and am very proud of my achievements, particularly the Bob Hopley Award. I’m enjoying Post 16 already and am looking forward to completing my A-levels here.”

Nearly 200 awards were presented to students from Year seven through to 13.
