HUNDREDS of A-Level students across North Lincolnshire are continuing their celebrations today after collecting achieving a set of remarkable exam results.

It was smiles all round at John Leggott College as a number of talented students swept the board with a complete set of A grades.

Robbie Newman, 18, from Messingham achieved five A grades in biology, chemistry, French, history and maths.

"It is fantastic to know that all of my hard work over the last two years has paid off," he said.

"I was very nervous in the run up to results day and now I am so relieved.

"I have really enjoyed studying at John Leggott the teachers and students are great and I have had a fantastic time."

Robbie has been accepted at Cambridge University and will be studying natural science.

He said: "I am so pleased with my grades – I needed three A's to get a place at University so the pressure was really on.

"I was astounded to get five As.

"I am going on to Cambridge to study natural science and I cannot wait."
