Students at independent all-ability school LVS Ascot celebrated an increase in A* grades amongst their A level results, rising to 5.7% from 4.6% last year. The school’s overall pass rate was 98.3%, surpassing the national average of 97.6%.

August is a nerve-wracking month for Berkshire students with A level and GCSE results days looming.
