STRATFORD'S most historic school was celebrating today (Thursday) after its pupil's discovered they had once again achieved some of the best A Level results in the country.

King Edward VI Grammar School headmaster Tim Moore-Bridger paid tribute to the boys in his 6th form who had managed a 96.1 % pass rate from grade A to E, with 80 per cent of those at grades A to C-well above this year's national average for boys of 56.3%.

"We all worked very hard," he said. "We set the students very high standards and we encourage the boys to set high standards for themselves and by working together, they achieve them."
