This teenage Grenfell Tower fire survivor has aced her GCSEs

Lovely news.

A girl who sat her GCSEs hours after escaping the Grenfell Tower fire in London has received her exam results. Ines Alves stunned her family and friends, as well as people all over the world, when she revealed that she'd fled the building with her notes and gone ahead with her chemistry exam that day. The 16-year-old, who lived on the 13th floor, received her results yesterday. She was awarded an A in the subject, as well as a 9, the highest possible grade, in maths and an A* in Spanish. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, she said she was happy with her results but that she had some regrets. "I wish I did more, but then again, I don't know, it hasn't sunk in yet. "For the exams I missed, I didn't do too well in them overall. Ines didn't sit a number of exams in the days following the fire, including two history exams, a religion exam and physics exam. "She had been studying for that exam for such a long time, she just wanted to get it over and done with," said her brother Tiago. "I didn't expect her to do it and told her she didn't have to, but she really wanted to. "I am really proud of her - I have no words for it." Ines and her family lost everything in the fire in June and are currently living in a hotel. "Personally we are quite fortunate as there are families who don't have anywhere to go, they don't have friends or family close by so we are lucky," she said. The fire in the 24-floor block of flats in June killed at least 80 people and left hundreds more homeless. Yesterday, police said that some victims may never be identified given the damage done in the fire, reports The Sun.
