No fewer than 21 students achieved three A*-A grades, with head boy Rob Gall, head girl Anna Jones, Arun Patel, Sam Purie and Joe Fear all getting two of the highest A* grades.

Some 63 per cent of exams were given A* to B grades, 82 per cent were at A* to C and there was a 100 per cent overall pass rate.
