00:00All good? Right, thank you guys. My name's Alistair from Sheppard Star, the newspaper.
00:04We're down at Notre Dame today. It's GCSE results day. I've been told that you guys
00:07have some of the best results the school has ever had. How are you guys all feeling today?
00:12Nervous this morning or did you know you had this one in the bag?
00:17I think a big one for me this year is that you guys would have been, a lot of people have
00:26forgotten that you guys would have been in year 7 in 2019, and that's when the pandemic
00:30came along. You guys have been through an absolutely extraordinarily tough time. Are
00:34you able to talk to people about what that was like or just what you guys have been through
00:37I suppose?
00:38It was the same course, but we did everything online. And then when we came back, it was
00:44a bunch of gaps, stuff we didn't do. It was all in my sub-year.
00:51Did it ever feel unfair? Was it hard to express to people kind of what you've been through?
00:56I mean, we kind of missed some of the basics and stuff, but we learnt them along the way
01:03as we went into year 10 and stuff.
01:08Would you like to talk about what sort of results you've got today? You can go along the way.
01:14I got 6 9s, 8 8s and 7s.
01:20I got 2 9s, 5 8s and 2 7s.
01:25I got 4 9s, 4 8s and 2 7s.
01:28I got 5 8s, 2 7s and 2 6s.
01:32I got 3 9s, the rest 8s and then 1 7 in history.
01:37Our teachers are off behind us and they're massively proud for you to say you've gone
01:41through this, what we had to go through these past five years. You've come out with some
01:43stunning results all the same. You really get to show people that you kind of did it
01:46all off your own back. So really well done everyone. Do you know what you're going to
01:49do with it? What your plan is now?
01:51I can't remember if not done as a 6 4, but you're going to stay here then, alright.
