Dominic Saju picked up the equivalent of an A* and 5As and wants to go into law eventually.
Dad Saju Mathew, said: “He has done his best and I’m very happy for him.”
Sepsio Irotumhe is going to study PE, Art and Psychology A Levels at Spalding Grammar.
“I’m pleased to get what I wanted,” he said. “I’d like to do something like architecture when I’m older so I can use something with my art.”
Spalding Grammar headmaster Mr Steven Wilkinson, said: “Congratulations to the students and staff for another year of remarkable achievements at the Grammar School.
“As more and more subjects come to terms with new specifications, the number of students achieving in line with those ambitious targets set by the government is in line with previous years, including a pleasing increase in English.
“Twelve students achieved grade of seven or higher in at least 10 subjects and our star performer, Adam Arnfield, secured eleven nines and two eights.
“The school continues to excel in the Sciences and results were also strong in the practical subjects such as Technology and Physical Education where over 60 per cent of grades were at seven or above.”
