King’s School A Level students were jumping for joy as the top Macclesfield school recorded another bumper set of results.

A staggering 80percent of all grades were at A* to B, the same figure as last year, but this year over 50pc of all grades are at A* and A up from 44pc last year, while 22pc achieved the ultimate A* grade up from 18% last year.

10 students achieved three A*s or better; three students achieved an amazing four A*s, while 50 students achieved there As or better.

The bumper set of results will see six young men and women going up to Oxford or Cambridge, with the vast majority progressing to the universities of their choice to study their preferred subject.

King’s School Headmaster Dr. Simon Hyde said: “These are the second best set of results in the school’s history only marginally behind those achieved in 2014 confirming the strong improvements in teaching and learning at King’s over the last five years.

“This exceptional level of success is not achieved overnight or through last minute revision but through hard work from the early years up to the Sixth Form and the teaching staff’s insistence on a rigorous attention to detail and disciplined working routines.”
