“WE are delighted”. That was the reaction of Philip Bunn, headteacher of Monk’s Walk School in Knightsfield, WGC, after the majority of his pupils received top grades in their A-level results.

A total of 99 per cent of students gained a grade A* to E.

Mr Bunn said: “We are delighted with the results, which are testimony to the students’ hard work and determination to succeed.

“While everyone predicts that it will be even harder to get into university this year, the high pass rate and excellent grades will enable our students to get to the university of their choice.”

He added: “We are very proud of all our students and wish them all the best for the future.”
