Wishaw teenager's delight after getting five A's in Higher exams

A Wishaw schoolgirl followed last year’s perfect exam performance with five Higher A passes this time around.

Seventeen-year-old Robyn Finlayson smashed her exams in English, maths, chemistry, physics and business management.

And the Coltness High pupil was delighted to find her hard work had paid off.

She said: “I was hoping for five As but when I found out I was so happy and a bit relieved.

“My mum, dad and wee sister were really pleased for me as well.

“I would say maths is my strongest subject but that exam was very tough.”

Robyn’s results means she can now look forward to university life following her final year at school.

However, far from taking it easy during this school year she will be crashing Higher human biology as well as Advanced Higher maths, physics and chemistry.

“I’m undecided about what to do at university,” said Robyn.

“I would like to do medicine but I would also like to do aeronautical engineering.

“I’m just glad I’ve got the chance to do either one.”

Coltness High head teacher John McGilp was full of praise for Robyn and other students who achieved excellent results.

He said: “We are very proud of all our young people and their achievements with us seeing significant gains in most measures across year groups.

“I was delighted to see that Robyn got straight As at Higher this year.

“As well as being academic Robyn is a lovely girl who essentially has the world at her finger tips.”
