Students at an Isleworth school had reason to celebrate after collecting their A-level results today.

Nine students who sat A-level sociology scored the top A* grade - reaping the reward of their hard work.

Other top achievers were Robyn Sweeney who gained three A*s, Katherine Maher who achieved 2A*s and 2 As and Susan Phipps received 2 A*s, an A and a B.

Headteacher Sister Brenda Wallace was delighted by the results - which saw 47 per cent of girls gaining A* to B grades.

She said: "We are delighted with and proud of our students who have achieved such excellent results.

"They have worked hard and been committed to their studies while still making sure that they continued to develop their wider personal gifts and talents alongside their academic ones.

"The energy and enthusiasm that they put into their various community services was impressive. It has been such a joy to see them grow and develop to this stage and we wish them every blessing in the future."

She also thanked the teaching staff for their hard work and dedication.
