“I’m immensely proud of our Year 13 pupils - these results reflect their hard work, determination and commitment over the past two years,” he said.

“My thanks also go to our dedicated staff for their outstanding support.

“At Christ College, we value an all-round education, and this year group has embraced every opportunity, both in and out of the classroom. Their achievements and contributions have been exceptional, and I wish them every success in the exciting journeys ahead.”

Beyond their results, 84 per cent of pupils have secured a place on their first-choice university course, taking up positions on courses at universities including Oxford, Durham, Warwick, Bath, and Imperial. Among the standout students, Frankie from Brecon will study French at Jesus College, Oxford, while Tom from Llancarfan, who achieved straight A*s in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths, will take up a place at Durham University to study Physics.

Deputy Head (Academic), Harry Mackridge, added: “The Christ College class of 2025 can reflect on a hugely positive set of public examination results at the end of their journey with us. This cohort have stood out consistently for their dedication and commitment to school life at all levels. We’re delighted that so many of our pupils will be taking up their first-choice university offers at a range of prestigious institutions and look forward to hearing of their future achievements.”
