Ten students at one Cork school have received the maximum Leaving Cert points of 625, with five students achieving seven H1 grades. 

A further five students were awarded six H1 grades. 

Christian Brothers College is celebrating on Friday, as 140 students received their Leaving Cert 2025 results. 

Principal David Lordon paid tribute to the Leaving Cert Class of 2025, which saw 21 students obtain more than 600 points. 

"We are very proud to congratulate our Leaving Cert Class of 2025 on today’s exceptional results," he said.

"The weeks leading up to today have doubtless been a nervous time for everyone, but I’m sure when they logged on this morning to view their results, they felt that all their effort and sacrifice had paid off." 

"This Leaving Certificate experience has very much been a collaborative journey, making today equally meaningful for their families and teachers who have encouraged and mentored them throughout the process." 

A record 65,444 students are receiving their exam results on Friday, the highest number to do so in the past 30 years.
