The pass rate at The Barclay School was almost 99 per cent and the number of A* and A grades is up on last year to almost a third of all results.

Headteacher Debbie Upton said: “We are absolutely delighted with our sixth form results this year and that the number of top grades has increased when nationally these are reported as being down. We have had some truly outstanding individual performances at all levels.”
