A sixth form student who came to England just three years ago has achieved all A*s in her A-Level exams.

Camelia Gregor began studying at County High School in Bury St Edmunds at the start of year 11 when she moved from Romania with her mum and brother.

Miss Gregor, for whom English is an additional language, has achieved three A*s as well as a double A* in her EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) and will now go on to study Global Development and Anthropology. 

After finding out her results, Miss Gregor said: "I am so happy with my grades - I'm actually speechless."

The school said that over the last three years Miss Gregor established friendships quickly and contributed very positively to the school community. 

She was a leader in the Charities Week committee and played a significant role in the school revue.

They said she immersed herself in school life, works tirelessly and teachers say she demonstrates an impressive attention to detail.

Miss Gregor is among the last cohort of sixth formers at County High School.

The school announced last year that for the third year in a row it had not attracted enough students to make the sixth form viable.

Instead it will now link up with Abbeygate Sixth Form and West Suffolk College as part of Bury Schools Partnership, which the school joined in 2022. 

Headteacher Sally Kennedy said: "We are very proud of our sixth form students who have all worked very hard and supported each other to fulfil their potential. 

"We know the personal challenges some of our students have faced and we are very proud of the resilience and determination they have demonstrated over the past two years. 

We wish them the very best as they move onto their next adventure and look forward to them returning to inspire the next generations of students at County High School.”

The school also shared its pride for students Astria Manning who will be going on to study History at Magdalen College, Oxford, after achieving A*A*A* and Anika Cox, who will be going on to study dual languages at Lady Margaret Hall College, after achieving A*A*A. 

Shaun Belcher celebrated a result of A*A*A and a double A* in his EPQ and will be going on to study Computer Science at UEA.
