HALF of all exams taken at Lucton School resulted in A* or A grades and 91.3 per cent of students achieved five A* to C grades.

Lucton’s headmistress, Gill Thorne, was delighted by the results.

"I am particularly pleased with the consistency of our top grades and yet again, I am extremely proud of Lucton’s performance in the sciences," she said.

"We have a 100 per cent pass rate in the separate sciences – physics, chemistry and biology – and 67 per cent of these results were either A* or A grades.

"These are subjects that universities value particularly highly and the statistics are quite remarkable. Also, for the second year running, chemistry achieved 100 per cent A* to B grades.”
