Just back from a summer programme at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, during which he played Chaim Weizmann’s piano, Immanuel College student Raz Benson hit the high notes at A-level, recording four A*s.
Raz will be reading natural sciences at Cambridge. Also off to Cambridge is head boy Joshua Cainer (three A*s), who will be studying law. A-level students at the Bushey school passed 65 per cent of exams at either A* or A, up from 54 per cent last year.
At Hasmonean in Barnet, one-fifth of students gained at least three A grades. Almost 44 per cent of exams were passed at A* and A and three-quarters were between A*-B. Executive head Rabbi David Meyer said the results were “the icing on the cake for what has been an exceptional year in which the school received accolades of outstanding from Ofsted and Pikuach and a commendation from the Secretary of State for Education”.
A-level results day was a new experience at Yavneh College in Borehamwood, where its first cohort of students celebrated results highlighted by a 23 per cent rate of A*s. Harry Moss received three A*s, Richard Reback and Jess Tray two A*s and one A.
