Rowan Baldwin and Lucy Giles were delighted for one another having both achieved the grades they were hoping for.
Lucy, who achieved one 9, three 8s, three 7s, a 6 and a 5, hopes to following in her sister Laura's footsteps who is heading to the University of Sunderland's School of Medicine after achieving three A* in her A levels which were released last week.
