The Principal of Stover School, Sue Bradley, says: "I am delighted with these exceptional results and I am very proud of all our Sixth Form students. They reflect Stover's growing reputation as an academic school, where individuals are nurtured to exceed expectations.
I am particularly pleased that a number of students this year have chosen to take four or more A levels. These results are a culmination of inspirational teaching promoting a love of learning throughout the school. Our Sixth Form is expanding, with an excellent range of subjects, but is still small enough for staff and students to get to know each other".
Stover School, which is celebrating its 80th Anniversary this year, has 430 pupils aged 3 to 18.
