Also achieving straight A and A* grades were Emma de Sousa, Jessica McGuinness, Alexander Smith, Robert Hughes, Lily Williams, Edward Laughton, Harry Shackleton, Lara Holtappel, Joseph Luckman and Mirren Stanley. Several students didn’t drop a single mark in a number of their exams including: Joseph Luckman, Alexander Smith, Michael Simmons, Harry Spearing, Robert Hughes, Abbie Mountford, Jessica McGuinness, Sian Robinson, Harriet Jones and Emma de Sousa.
Many students gained places at top universities, in addition to Oxford, where Daisy Clarke will be reading Japanese studies at St Anne’s College.
Headteacher Stephen Jowett said: “I continue to be extremely pleased with the performance of students in our Sixth Form, both those who have been with us for seven years and those who join us in Year 12. Our focus on individual student achievement means so many students surpass their expectations.”
