Brighton College pupils bag more than 500 A* and As at ‘A’ level, achieving the second best results in its history.
The college achieved:
• 96.6% grades A*B.
• 78.4% graded A*A. (110 out of 200 got all A*s and As)
• 110 pupils scored A*s and As in all their subjects
• 28 pupils got AT LEAST A*A*A* (14 got four A*s)
The college topped the league tables in Sussex for the last ten years and this year's results were the second best in the college’s history just behind those achieved in 2015.
Headmaster Richard Cairns said: "As ever, this reflects brilliantly on the commitment and hard work of our pupils, the inspirational teaching of our Common Room and the huge efforts made by all members of staff in helping to support those individuals who need that little bit extra help to achieve what we knew they were capable of.
"We judge our success not just by how we help the most able, but by how we lift up and enthuse those for whom academic work is more demanding.
"What gives me greater pleasure than all the A* grades is to see a pupil with three B grades celebrating an achievement he or she never thought possible. That is really what a Brighton College education is all about."
