This year, pupils attained a clean sweep in Biology, Physics, French, German, History, Drama and Further Maths with 100% of pupils achieving A* to C grades.

Rendcomb College, known for its wide-ranging and inclusive approach to education, builds on last week’s superb A Level results where the average set of grades was ABB with 90% heading on to their chosen universities later this year including Oxford and Durham.

Headmaster Rob Jones said: “Today’s results reflect the pride our teachers take in their subjects and their students. Pupils can truly thrive at Rendcomb and today’s grades are the result of excellent support and guidance given by our teaching staff and by our outstanding pastoral team.

“Exams were more difficult this year across the board so I am incredibly proud of our results. With the majority of pupils going on to join our Sixth Form, this year’s cohort is set to be stronger than ever and I am looking forward to following their progress during their final two years at Rendcomb College.”
