"It is a tremendous achievement, and we are very proud of all our students."

Students at Piggott School have secured places at universities across the country, with 47% of grades an A* to A.

The further mathematics department maintained a 100% pass rate for the fourth consecutive year, 4% above the national average from 2018/19.

Of all grades received, 94.8% were A* to B with 37.4% of those an A*.

Despite a drop in top grades nationally, the school increased the number of A* grades by 50% from 2021.

Of that 92%, 69% of pupils at Edgbarrow School achieved A* to B, something the school is keen to recognise.

Headteacher Shirley Austin said she was personally delighted that all students are leaving A-Levels and a "high proportion" with A* to C grades.

Lindsey Humber, head of school at Waingels College, said the staff are "immensely proud" of the students' achievements.

More than a quarter of all grades were A* or A and over 50% of grades at A*-B.

The rise will come into place from Monday, September 5.
