Other noteworthy successes with an 1A* and 2As included Megan Barnett who will study Natural Sciences at Leeds University, Cara Clitheroe who will study History at Sheffield and Jade Park who will study English at York.

Head of Sixth Form, Tom Backshall, said: “About 80% of our students will go onto university and virtually all of those who applied to go have been offered a place, with the vast majority getting onto their first choice courses.

“Whilst we are thrilled with our headline figures and congratulate the students going to some of the major Russell Group universities, we are just as pleased when students achieve their target grades and gain entry to their course of choice wherever it is across the country.

“This morning was really uplifting to see that the hopes and dreams of so many students have come to fruition.”
