This year's students were the first to take some of the new A-Level subjects following the government's reform of the system, making comparison with last year's scores problematic.

Headteacher Michael Ferry said: "At St Wilfrid’s we are committed to raising standards across the ability range and, although it is difficult to compare headline results to previous years given the significant changes to A Levels, this year’s results look to be our second best ever in terms of the progress made by students.

"These results are testament to the hard work of both students and staff as well as to the continued support from parents and carers."
