There wer 82 per cent of students who gained five or more A* to C grades.
Head teacher Bushra Nasir, who will soon be leaving her post, said: “They are up from last year and I am really really pleased. I have been here 22 years, I have been head for 19 and this is the highest we have ever achieved. Our first result was 28 per cent.”
Mrs Nasir paid tribute to the hard work by both students and staff, many of whom have organised extra curricular study sessions in the evenings and at weekends.
