She said the school had had an "overall increase in the number of top grades achieved".

Newly-appointed head, Matthew Burke, said: "I am thrilled to join Beaulieu Convent School at such an exciting time and to witness firsthand the remarkable achievements of our students.
"These results are not just a reflection of the hours of hard work invested by both staff and students but also of the unwavering support from parents and the wider school community.
"I am looking forward to working with these talented students, as well as those joining us in Sixth Form, to continue pushing the boundaries of what they can achieve.
"Today, we celebrate not just the grades but the determination, resilience, and potential of each and every student."
