Girls at the Cheltenham Ladies’ College are celebrating today after achieving excellent A Level results, with the A* rate of 29.3% being the second highest since the grade was introduced.
A total of 65 girls were awarded three or more grades at A* or A – over 50% of all those sitting A levels – with 16 girls achieving three or more A* grades.
College Principal Eve Jardine-Young said: “I am absolutely delighted for all the girls that their hard work, focus and dedication have yielded the results they deserve.”
