A PRIZE for the pupil with the best GCSE results at a Darlington school has been shared this year.
Gemma Roberts and Alison Galpin, both 16, have been jointly awarded the Lloyds Bank Trophy at Hurworth Comprehensive School.
Alison gained most A*s in her year with seven, but Gemma, who gained four A*s, shared the prize for having the most UCAS points.
The pair, who are now studying for AS Levels at Darlington's Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, will keep the trophy for a year.
Gemma said: "It was a surprise to find we had won because a lot of people were getting A*s and the grades were really good overall."
