Leaving Cert: Cork school sees 10 students get maximum points

The principal said: 'These students faced very challenging circumstances and the Leaving Cert was the first State exam they sat.'

This year's marks were boosted by the State Examinations Commission (SEC) by an average of 7.9 through a post-marking adjustment to bring them in line with last year’s results.

One post-primary school in Cork is celebrating this Friday as it emerged one impressive student has achieved eight H1 grades in their Leaving Cert exams.

The principal of Christian Brothers College in Cork, David Lordon, has congratulated its Leaving Cert class of 2023 as they receive their results.
