More than half the students at Queen Elizabeth’s High School (QEHS) attained at least one A or A* grade and 32 per cent of grades were A* or A.
Rick Eastham, headteacher at QEHS, said: “On behalf of all colleagues and the Governing Body here at QEHS, I would like to congratulate our Year 13 students upon their fantastic A Level results. Very well done.

"It should be remembered that these students had not previously experienced public examinations, being the cohort that received Centre Assessed Grades for their GCSEs two years ago.
"It is all the more remarkable therefore that the A Level results our Year 13 students have achieved this summer are so incredibly impressive.
"Quite simply, this level of success is down to the students’ hard work and the commitment they have shown to their studies. When combined with the utter dedication of the wonderful staff here at QEHS and the ongoing and significant support of parents, this really has been a team effort and an exam season to celebrate.

"Indeed, over 70 per cent of our students received an instant offer of a place at their first choice university, rising to 84 per cent when accepted insurance places are added.
"Students have similarly been successful in securing much sought after apprenticeships and international scholarships.
"As our Year 13 students begin the next steps of their educational journeys, everyone here at QEHS wishes them the very best for their futures, much on-going success and happiness.”
