Gunny Patel, acting deputy headteacher at Trinity School, said: “We are very proud of our A-level students of 2013. Their performance was the best we have ever had. This follows a continuing trend of rapid improvement in our sixth form as reflected in all the key measures.

“All the staff at Trinity work exceptionally hard to push our students on, with high quality teaching and learning and targeted interventions where needed. We know that our results for 2014 will improve further.

Myton School headteacher Paul MacIntyre said: “The record results at GCSE and A-level in 2013 are just reward for the hard work and commitment of the students, parents and staff at Myton.

“The board of governors and staff are particularly pleased that the school’s commitment to highly academic and respected qualifications is reflected in these tables.

“With almost a third of all A-level grades awarded being A* or A, and having such a high average grade for every academic A-level entry is exceptional.”
