PUPILS at The Priory School in Hitchin have continued their A-level success, equalling the 99% record pass rate they secured last year.

Most students received their chosen university place – including two at Oxbridge – with 80% of entries A* to C grades.

Headteacher Peter Loach, who retires this summer, said: “Happy students means happy parents. Colleagues are thrilled for our students and wish them health, happiness and success for their futures.”
