In all, 29 pupils achieved straight A*/A grades, including Luke Muschialli, Florence Ji, Joseph Shouksmith and Johnson Oh with A*A*A*A, and James Song and Leila Lopez-Moran with A*A*A*.

Headmaster Tom Lawson said, “Pupils should be proud of their achievements and hard work on the A-level course and, despite not having the chance to sit the exam, these great grades should stand as testament to the academic progress and ambition of Eastbourne College’s pupils.

“I am delighted the calculations show our grades are improved again for the third consecutive year and,, while uncertainty still remains, I would expect any revisions to individual grades will only see them improve.

“Our healthy, balanced approach leads to pupils fulfilling their academic potential while developing body and mind through sport, creativity, teamwork and service.”

Forty three per cent of grades awarded were A* or A, and the overall proportion of A*, A or B grades was 72 per cent.

All Eastbourne College pupils sit gold-standard A-level or Cambridge Pre-U qualifications for all their subjects and this year achieved a pass rate of 100 per cent.

Maths, English, the sciences, the humanities, languages and creative arts continue to be ‘beacons of excellence’, said the school.
