MORE than half the A-level grades achieved at a Hatfield school were A or A*.

Former students at Onslow St Audrey’s headed back to school this morning (Thursday) to find out their exam results.

A total of 52 per cent of grades were A or A*, with a 100 per cent pass rate at A-level and BTEC Level 3.

All the Old Rectory Drive school’s students who have applied to university have secured their chosen courses at their preferred universities, and many have exceeded their university entry requirements.

For the fourth successive year every exam taken in Year 13 was passed, and headteacher Paul Meredith described as “outstanding” this year’s 90 per cent A*-C pass rate.

He said: “Students and staff have worked very hard and deserve their success.”
