The majority achieved a 100 per cent pass rate, bettering the national average of 98 per cent.

Pupils at Hasmonean High School in North-West London achieved the school's best-ever results, 94 per cent gaining five or more A*- to C-grades.

Among the most outstanding achievements was Rebecca Sassoon's 13 A*-grades. She was one of 39 to receive at least 10 A*- and A-grades.

David Fuller, Hasmonean's executive head teacher, thanked staff and pupils for their hard work and said: "These excellent results mark another significant step forward in our continuing drive to be outstanding in all aspects of our work."
