STUDENTS at Aldenham School achieved the highest ever pass rates for A-level and GCSE this year.

Ninety-nine per cent of pupils at Aldenham School, in Aldenham Road, passed their A-levels and 93 per cent gained A* to C grades at GCSE.

Students applying to university also clocked up the highest number of UCAS points per head ever recorded at the school.

The points correspond to the grades each candidate receives at A-level.

Headmaster, Richard Harman, said: "I am delighted with how well the boys and girls have done.

"All the effort and hard work by staff and pupils has paid off and I am particularly pleased that once again the pupils have achieved good results across the spectrum of ability."

Two of the school's pupils, Margaret Ma and Ceri Davis, are on their way to Oxford and Cambridge after getting the results they needed.

Margaret also received outstanding performance recognition for getting one of the highest scoring marks in the country in her A-level further maths exam.
