Among the top students was Emily Wood, 18, who leaves the school with an A* and three As in Biology, Chemistry, EPQ, and Maths.

She will now move to the University of Bristol where she will read Biology.

Casey is moving to Loughborough to read Maths and PE.

Another student who will be moving straight into industry will be Liam Argent, 18, who was recently accepted a High Level Apprenticeship position in a Swiss Bank in the City of London.

Sue Weston, Director of the Ortu 6th Form Centre said: “I am very proud of, and thrilled for, the young people in the Sixth Form.

"They will now be able to go to the University, a Job or an Apprenticeship of their choice as a result of their hard work.

"I along with, Mr Evans, all Sixth Form Staff and Parents wish them only the best for the future.”

Clive Stokes, Principal of Ortu Gable Hall added: “I am delighted at the performance of all our students.

"I am happy that the standards which drew such fulsome praise from Ofsted in the Summer have held up in this year’s results.”
