A-level students across the region are receiving their exam results today.
Pupils at Brighton College have achieved the best A-level results ever attained by any co-educational school in England, according to college.
Almost 100% of students have achieved grades A*-B, with 82.8% getting As or higher.
Every pupil got grades A*-C, with 28 getting places at Oxford or Cambridge universities.
The independent school has been the top of the league tabels in Sussex for the last ten years.
Head teacher Mr Richard Cairns puts the success of the school down to its nurturing ethos.
It is a very happy, kind and supportive school. Youngsters feel valued for who they are.
This warm, friendly environment allows them to focus on getting the most out of school without worrying about what other people think of them.
So they can, and do, talk enthusiastically about physics and French and so on.
This has created a genuinely scholarly environment which, of course, has delivered these incredible results”.
