SHE had to write her assignments while herÂ new-bornÂ baby was sleeping '“ but that didn't stop this teenager doing everything she could do complete her college course.Â

After dealing with pregnancy and the sickness and struggle that came with it, Courtney Webb-JonesÂ '“ who wasn't sure she would be able to finish her Level 3 Diploma in Uniformed Public Services '“Â braced herself for a pass gradeÂ result this morning.

And that's what made the moment the Fareham teenager opened her results at Fareham College so special '“ the mum to four-month-old Willow received a Distinction and can't believe how well she has done.

Student Courtney, 18, said: '˜I found out I was pregnant in July after my first year at college.

'˜It was a complete shock to me and my partner. I wasn't sure what to do, whether to tell the college or if I'd be able to finish the course because it's very sports-based.

'˜When I started my second year in September we had to do a mile-and-a-half run on the first day.

'˜I said to my teacher: 'if I'm sick at the end, don't worry, I'm not well'.
