A QUARTER of all A-Level entries at The Chase School resulted in either an A or A* grade with more than 75 per cent achieving an A*-C grade.
Leading the way this year was Daniel Eyles with two A* grades together with one A and one B.
This has helped Dan secure a place at Manchester University to study Theoretical Physics.
Beth Wolff and Sam White both achieved one A* grade together with one A and two B grades while Adam Dickenson and Sophie Wallace both achieved one A* grade together with two As.
Other students who performed tremendously well included Ellie Blannin, Lucy Colbourne, Caitlin Fitzgerald and Harry Neil who all achieved three A grades each.
A special mention went to Tom Lawson who has secured a place to study Cinema and Photography at the prestigious Ithaca College in New York.
Headteacher Mike Fieldhouse said: “We were a bit unsure of what to expect this summer with all the changes made to all of the new A-Level courses.
“The Chase’s teachers must take credit in doing a phenomenal job to prepare the students so brilliantly well, especially with limited sample materials available for many of these new courses.
“A record number of students have secured a place at their first choice university or on a higher level apprenticeship which is always our main aim in gauging success at the end of Year 13.”
