Please don't take this as boasting...

...but I am very, very happy and excited after receiving the following letter from King's School today (apparently I was supposed to get it with my other results, but somehow they managed to lose it!) :

Dear Esther
I am very pleased to tell you that you are amongst the group of candidates who scored one of the top five marks in French Specification A this summer. There were 138508 candidates for the examination so this is an exceptional result.
May I congratulate you on such an outstanding achievement and wish you every success with your future studies.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Cresswell
Director General
