A FORMER Holsworthy student swept the board at the Petroc awards evening, last week.

Exceptional A-level and Access to Higher Education (HE) students gathered at the Barnstaple Hotel last Friday (January 10) for the college's annual celebration evening.

Following another record-breaking year for A-level results, winners from the class of 2013 were presented prizes for outstanding academic and personal achievement.

The returning students, who have gone on to university or employment, were reunited with each other, as well as their college lecturers who gave glowing citations as the awards were handed out.

Iain Sharp, a former pupil from Holsworthy Community College, is currently studying mathematics at Birmingham University. He achieved 100% in five of his final exams and over 96% in ten exams. Iain also picked up A-level Further Mathematics Award, exceptional achievement award and overall academic achievement award.
