Mr Bernard added many pupils had also gained accolades outside of the exam hall by gaining “national acclaim” in music, dance, drama and sport.

“Overall the Year 13 cohort embraced what the school had to offer and I wish all of our leavers the very best of luck in their future,” he added.

Stand out Year 13 performers included Mubarek Osman and Emma Walker, who got three A* grades.

Zoe Allen took home two A* and two A grades and will go to the University of Cambridge to study maths.
