Celebrating success
GCSE National Awards Ceremony 2007
The awards recognize outstanding performance in GCSE examinations, chosen from nearly 3 million AQA entries.
The event was held on 25 October at One Great George Street, London, and once again proved a very enjoyable occasion for the winners and their guests, as well as the school/college representatives and AQA colleagues attending.
Student of the year
The GCSE Student of the Year, Katie Hall, received a trophy, in addition to the silver medal she had already won for coming top in the Humanities group of subjects. Katie, from Teesside High School, achieved 12 A* GCSEs, all taken at a single sitting this year.
As well as her medal and trophy, Katie also received a cheque for £250 and a Student of the Year diploma for her and her school.
The event was co-sponsored by AQA and Nelson Thornes.
The awards were presented by Sue Rogers, Chair of AQA, and Linden Harris, Managing Director of Nelson Thornes.
