Twins, Duncan and Callum Somerville gained 22 grade 9s and 8s between them.

Headteacher Julia Mortimore said: “I am exceptionally proud of our students who in recent weeks have faced so much uncertainty, and they can now celebrate their exceptional results.

"It is pleasing to see that the hard work and dedication of the students, supported by their teachers and their parents, has paid dividends and I would like to thank and congratulate them all.”

The majority of St Bart’s pupils will be joined by those from other schools in starting their sixth form studies in two weeks’ time when the school reopens.
