PUPILS at Cheltenham College are celebrating their A-level results, which mark the culmination of years of ambition and achievement during their time at the school.
The top 100 pupils scored 95 per cent A* to B.
More than 76 per cent achieved A*-B grades.
Nearly half (48%) of pupils’ results have been graded A*-A.
The pursuit and support of academic excellence at Cheltenham College continues this year with many pupils moving on to Oxbridge and universities including Bath, Birmingham, Bristol, Durham, Edinburgh, Exeter, Imperial, Leeds, Manchester, New York, St Andrews and Warwick.
Over the coming days all pupils will confirm their next steps.
Whether it is into higher education or on to careers, they leave the College community well prepared for life beyond school and in a position to contribute positively to society.
Cheltenham College head Nicola Huggett said: “We are extremely proud of our pupils and their well-deserved A-level results.
“For them this is the final stage of a journey at College, during which they have discovered their values, interests and passions.
“I urge them all not to forget that it is also the first day of their next adventure turning them into future careers.
“I look forward to witnessing the many great things they achieve in their lives as Old Cheltonians.”
