Among the successful students was Nishita Bhatt, who will go to the University of Bath to study biomedical sciences.

The 18-year-old was one of the few coming into school earlier who had not been able to find out if she had made her university place on UCAS.

“I actually couldn’t log on,” she said. “It crashed. I walked in not knowing if I had got in or not.

“It was pretty scary. My heart was beating quite fast and I was relieved I got what I wanted.”

She got two A*s for maths and chemistry and a B for biology.
