ST Augustine’s Priory, the Ealing Catholic independent girls school, reported A-level results that recognised the hard work of what it considered a brilliant Year 3 group.

Outstanding results were achieved in all subjects, with A* - A achieved in 63% of grades overall and A* - B in 88% of grades. Some departments, including Modern Languages, scored A* - A across the board.

Pupils are now going on to Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, Durham, Bristol and Plymouth.

Head Sarah Raffray said: “Our girls leave here secure in the knowledge that, because we know them so very well, they will never be regarded as part of any statistical process.

“We are proud of their achievements and simply can’t wait to see what they do next.

“This year, many set off for medical school. You’d be delighted to have one of them as your GP or surgeon.”
