The school said it achieved “particularly strong performances” in maths and English A-levels, with around a third of entries achieving A* and A grades.

With these results, pupils have been able to confirm places at a number of Russell Group universities including University College London, the University of Bristol, Nottingham University, King’s College London, and Liverpool University.

Anastasia Ene, who will be the first in her family to go to university, achieved the grades she needs to read history and politics of the Americas at University College London.

She said: “I am beyond happy to have secured my firm place to study history and politics at UCL.

“My teachers have really helped me along the way and I am so grateful.”

“These excellent results reflect the high academic standards we have set at Harris Rainham Sixth Form and the quality of our educational provision.
