Fyling Hall School is celebrating an impressive set of A-Level results that sees all of the Year 13 students rewarded with a place on their first choice university course.

The hard work of the pupils and staff resulted in 48% of Year 13 exams taken being awarded A*/A or equivalent.

Headmaster Steven Allen said: “I am delighted for our Year 13 pupils who have had to endure a very nervous wait for their results.

"There has been a lot of unhelpful talk in the media about more stringent marking and grades falling this year, which has added to their anxiety.
