Report by Faye Claridge, web producer

Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls produce consistently high performers in A levels, so I went along on results day to see some of the dreams come true for the university hopefuls.

Opening results in private
Opening results in private during a tense morning
It was a record-breaking year for the school, with its 100% pass rate including an amazing 74.3% of the results being As or Bs.

The school has only recently become a Specialist Language College, a change that brought an injection of cash for improved education resources.

The first A levels students after the change of status did the school proud.

Happy students
One of the school's highest achievers looking rightly proud
Straight A grades were achieved by 21% of the year, 12 of which got four As and 10 of which got three As.

With a camera and recording equipment I captured some of the tension, delight and disappointment on the most important day of the studentsÂ’ careers to date.
