Students have been celebrating across the borough, from Ark Burlington Danes in White City to Lady Margaret in Parsons Green since receiving news of their results on Thursday.

Overall, 8% of students gained A* grades, and 27% achieved A* to A grades - slightly above the national average of 26 per cent).

52% achieved A* to B grades, and 74% A* to C. The H&F spread of grades showed improvements – with results better than last year.

"It has been a difficult and challenging year, with many students and schools affected in some way by the Grenfell Tower disaster," said Cllr Sue Macmillan, H&F Cabinet Member for Children and Education.

"It is a great credit to both the schools, and the remarkable young people involved, that our results in the borough have shown an improvement on last year.

"Our schools continue to work with students, post-results, to try to help them find a future in education, training or employment that will give them the best prospects in life.

"Thanks to the hard work and great teaching behind these results, a great many will be looking at a truly bright future."
