A lot of hard work, dedication and resilience are the reasons behind Marlborough Science Academy’s success in today’s A-Level results, according to headteacher Annie Thomson.

She said: “Students particularly excelled in English, maths, chemistry, drama and BTEC sports.

“The majority have been offered places at their first choice of university, including the Russell Group.”

Ms Thomson wished Year 13 students, “lots of luck and happiness as they venture off to university, jobs or apprenticeships.

“Year 12s had equally impressive sets of results, setting them up well for further success in Year 13.”
