Five students, Benjamin, Aaryan, Alvin, Alfie and Benedict achieved straight A* and A grades, compared to two last year. Benjamin achieved an incredible 4 As. Alfie not only attained two A‘s in Physics and Maths and an A in Computer studies – he also achieved an A in Further maths. Aaryan also achieved an A in AS Further Maths, while Virginia, who joined OLA for sixth form achieved her first choice of university and the next highest grades in the cohort.
