Burford School expressed pride in its Year 13 students who, it said, have achieved a fantastic set of A-Level exam results this year.

"Our results are very pleasing with many outstanding individual results," said the school.

Some 31% of grades are A*-A, 58% are A*-B, and 81% are A*-C with 43% of students achieving at least 1A* or A.

"This is none the more impressive as this particular cohort of students experienced a sustained period of disruption to its education with the first COVID-19 lockdown arising a matter of weeks before its GCSEs, preventing it from obtaining an early experience of public examinations," the school said.

"The journey to Medicine has been challenging to say the least, but I’m grateful for all that it has taught me."
