DELIGHTED students have been celebrating their GCSE results.

Many students in north Kent contributed to the best-ever GCSE results to date.

Most schools in Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley beat the national average of 62.4 per cent passes at grades A* to C.

Pupils and teachers from secondary schools and colleges across Lewisham have once again proved they are working hard.

Lewisham's students pushed up the pass rate in comparison to last year by 4.5 per cent - with 54 per cent of all exam entrants receiving at least five A* to C grades.

There is plenty of celebrating around Greenwich too - including identical twins Emily and Kate Vaughan William, 16, who scooped six A*s and four As each, scoring the same results in each subject at Blackheath High School.
