NOTE: The Times and Sunday Times note that this is the first time that performance in the summer’s A-levels and GCSEs has returned to pre-pandemic grade boundaries in England and many of the schools that triumphed this year were also those that managed to keep high-quality teaching going online during the pandemic.

We also congratulate Roundwood and Arden on their top spots.
