Chipping Campden School pupils are heading off to universities across the country after picking up their A-Level results.

Over a quarter of all grades awarded to students at the school, on Cidermill Lane, were A* or A with more 82 per cent achieving A* to C.

The school is hopeful this will see them replicate previous above-average results in terms of university places, with around four in 10 of all Chipping Campden School students going on to Russell Group universities

Principal, John Sanderson, said: “I am extremely proud of all that our students have achieved in the context of a very challenging two years.

“So many have worked extremely hard and clearly been rewarded for their ability to adapt and maintain a sustained focus on their learning.

“I’m pleased that so many now have the qualifications and skills they need to go on to the next stage of their learning.”

He also praised the dedication and commitment of staff who have gone above and beyond on so many occasions, as well as emphasising the support given by parents in ensuring so many students successfully navigate these very demanding times.

Some standout pupils include Aaron Rigg, Ella McClenaha and Aaron Syme who all achieved three A* grades, the latter going on to study biochemistry at Oxford University.

Similarly, Oliver Pinfold, Adam Hart, Jessica Gregg, George Clarke, Francesca Marshall, Lucy Griffiths and Charlotte Burkert were just some of those with a string of straight A* and A grades to their name.

The school also expressed its pride in students who made progress and exceeded their targets including Harry Wilson, James Mercer, Isaac Allport, William Dean, Milly Nixon and Amelie Ristov.

Many students are now able to take up places at their first-choice university with pupils going on to mathematics at Bath, neuroscience at Cardiff, business at Exeter, physics at York, music at Queen’s Belfast and international management at Nottingham, among other courses.
