WYCLIFFE College students have been celebrating their record-breaking A-level results.
A round figure of 100 A* or A grades were achieved by the 81 Year 13 leavers.
That number of A* and A grades represents more than four out of every ten results secured in this summer’s exams.
In addition, well over 60 per cent have come in at B or higher.
Alongside these, BTEC pupils celebrated excellent results in business, digital production and sport, with two-thirds of Sports awards hitting the top distinction and distinction* grades.
It had been an anxious wait for pupils after the return of exams for the first time since 2019 but the record-breaking results are a fitting reward for all of their efforts, said a college spokesperson.
These grades have opened up a wide range of opportunities for the pupils across a variety of courses and University destinations.
Destinations include the United States, Germany, Spain, Holland, Switzerland and even Costa Rica (for a course in sustainable tourism management).
"I cannot remember feeling prouder of a set of pupils than I do today, said headmaster of Wycliffe College, Nick Gregory.
"This cohort last experienced a ‘normal year’ of school back in Year 10.
"Many of them have faced extraordinarily difficult sets of circumstances.
"The perseverance and resilience of our girls and boys have been remarkable.”
