Harrogate Grammar School has praised its "remarkable" pupils on A level results day.
Out of a large cohort of 326 students, an impressive third of grades were A*-A, up 3 per cent on last year, with 10 different subjects showing a significant increase in the number of A*-A grades.
Performing at an exceptional level, 22 students achieved at least three or more A*s.
A spokesperson for the school said:
“Harrogate Grammar School congratulates all our students.
“You are an exceptional, inspiring, and talented group of young people and we could not be prouder of you.”
This cohort were in Year 9 when the country went into lockdown.
They studied for their GCSEs remotely at times and were the first generation of students to sit GCSEs again in 2022.
The spokesperson added:
“We are incredibly pleased with the outcomes this year and the exciting progression routes for our students, including gap year, apprenticeships and employment.
“The diversity of their destinations and chosen next steps reflects our school’s focus on helping each student fulfil their potential by being the best they can be.”
A total of 288 students (88 per cent of the year group) applied to university to study a range of courses.
Over 75 per cent of applicants gained places at their first-choice university and 90 per cent achieved places overall.
All four of Harrogate Grammar’s Ukrainian students secured places at university, whilst eight students achieved places at Oxbridge and five students gained places on medicine courses.
One student has gained a place at The Royal Northern College of Music.
The school’s spokesperson said:
“We would like to thank families for their support, as well as our teachers and staff, who have worked tirelessly to support students.
“We wish our students all the very best in their future studies, employment, or gap year.
“We hope that life serves them much happiness and that they make a profound difference in their chosen field.”
