Students at St Bees School are celebrating an extraordinary set of results this week.
This is the first year since 2015 that national assessment results have been recorded for the newly reopened school.
The school said 80 per cent of the grades were A* or A, with the remaining grade B.
Grades awarded this academic year resulted from the process of assessing student work.
Year 12 students took their AS-level assessments, with over half the students achieving straight A grades – the highest grade you can obtain at AS.
Several international students, on a unique fast track IGCSE programme had also taken a set of IGCSE exams.
Between them all, there were only three B grades with the rest A* and A.
Headmaster Robin Silk said: “St Bees has always maintained a focus on character development.
“Yes, we have a huge sense of pride in these assessment results – but what I am most proud of is how these young people have grown within themselves over the past
year.
“They have matured and blossomed into individual, independent thinkers, who challenge the world, inspire others and forever aim high.
“It is an exciting time at St Bees as we continue to grow – and we firmly believe that our winning formula will result in future exam success in years to come.”
