STUDENTS from a secondary school in Malvern have achieved a 'stunning' set of A-level results this year.
The Chase on Geraldine Road in Malvern has said they are delighted with its A-level results and claim that this year's A-level students have broken a new record.
Nationally, A-level grades were lower than the last two years - when grades were determined by teachers as externally marked examinations could not take place.
The cohort A-level results have been penned as 'incredible' with 41% of students achieving an A* or A grade which is 5% higher than the national average.
A total of 87% of students achieved grades between A*-C this year.
Following results day, five students have earned a spot at either Cambridge or Oxford University.

Mike Fieldhouse, headteacher at The Chase said: "Congratulations to all of our students who have again surpassed all expectations and who should be very proud of their achievements.
"After all of the disruption caused by the pandemic during the past few years, we were concerned that this may have had a detrimental impact on the student's academic performance.
"As this was the first time the students had experienced external examinations, we were not too sure what to expect from them.
"Stress and anxiety levels were certainly higher than in previous years which is not surprising, considering the pressure placed on their young shoulders.
"Unbelievably our students have blown all previous examination performances out of the water with this set of incredible results.
"Once again, a record number of students have secured a place at their first choice university or on a higher level apprenticeship which is always our main aim in gauging success at the end of Year 13.
"We wish them all well in their future lives."
