The school's headteacher Robert Lobatto said "A-levels are not easy, and these results show that the focus and effort our students have put in has really paid off.

"We're proud of all our A level students and can't wait to see what they do next."

One pleased student is KCL-bound Monica - who is off to study a liberal arts course.

After opening an envelope with an A*, A and B in it, she said: "I would like to thank my teachers and the school for pushing me when I needed motivation. I'm really looking forward to going to uni."

Ania Herbut, Head of Sixth Form said "The students should be very proud of these great exam results and everything else they've achieved during their time at King Alfred.

"They are a really well rounded bunch whose confidence and abilities will carry them far. Well done!'
