The atmosphere at St Paul’s Primary School in Brittons Cross Road, St Michael, was a mixture of excitement, relief and emotion on results day, as students and teachers celebrated placements and prepared for the transition to secondary school.

While the school did not repeat last year’s feat of producing the island’s top boy and girl performers, Senior Teacher Mark Clarke said there was still much to celebrate.

“From guarding and looking at results, you can say that the majority, if not most of the students, I located were very satisfied with the schools that they were given. More, I think, a percentage of them got their first choices,” he said.
