Said Headmistress Mrs Jane Davies: "These are just some of the highlights from a very satisfactory year. As a mathematician myself, I am especially pleased with the excellent results from our Maths department. Every single student in Year 11 took that exam so it is a great outcome."
The College's excellent GCSE results come on top of the best ever Year 13 performance where 90% of all grades were A*-B (or their equivalent) and 85% of all students achieved A*-B grades. St Dunstan's offers both A Levels and the prestigious International Baccalaureate where two students were in the top one per cent of students worldwide.
Added Mrs Davies: "This has been a very good year for the College in terms of both GCSE and A Level. My congratulations to all students on their results and my sincere thanks to colleagues for all the hard work they have put in to help them achieve such excellent grades."
