THE headteacher of Marlborough School, in St Albans, has praised students who have recorded an excellent set of A-level results this year.

Overall, this was one of the best years ever in terms of performance, for both years 12 and 13.

“There was a fantastic atmosphere in what was essentially a damp and gloomy August day, as students realised that their efforts had all been worthwhile,” said headteacher, Annie Thomson.

“We wish all our students every best wish as they embark on the next stage of their learning journey. Well done to you all.”
