Sixth form students across Bracknell Forest celebrated their A Level results day.

Staff and teachers expressed pride in their students' achievements after seven years of education.

Despite some receiving results via email, many students decided to also attend their schools to celebrate with teachers and fellow students.

The dedication of young people in Bracknell Forest is evident in the results.

Ranelagh School achieved a 100 per cent pass rate, with 57 per cent of students receiving A* to C grades.

Headteacher Tim Griffith said: "A vast majority of students are going on to higher education and many have got into their first choice.

"I am just so immensely proud to be the headteacher, and days like this make me appreciate what I do.

"I am just so overjoyed."

Many Ranelagh students are set to attend prestigious universities including Bristol, Oxford, and City University London.

Among them, Amrit Kaur was the first to collect her results, with her family travelling from London to support her on the day.

At Garth Hill College, head girl Issy Thorpe achieved AAA and will be heading to Birmingham University to study medicine.

Issy, who has been working up to this moment for years, said she was excited and relieved to have received her results.

The head of sixth form at Garth Hill College, Mr Alex Worsell, welcomed the students alongside other staff members as they arrived to collect their A Level results.

He said: "This year’s cohort have all worked so hard not just academically but also within the school community and I think that came through in their results and in the universities that accepted them.

"They have all gone above and beyond, and have worked as a whole.

"The year is incredibly close-knit."

Mrs Liz Cook, headteacher at King’s Academy Easthampstead, greeted the students with enthusiasm as they returned to collect their results.

This was the final time Liz represented the school as the headteacher before her retirement.

She expressed her delight in the students that she has seen progress through the school during her time there.

Students from independent schools in the area also received their results today.

Heathfield School in Ascot said that they were delighted to celebrate the achievements of the A Level students reflecting their hard work and talent.

Headmistress, Sarah Rollings, said: "I’m absolutely delighted by the achievements of every single one of our students.

"Their results not only illustrate their abilities and commitment, but also the unwavering dedication of our exceptional staff who support, inspire and champion every girl.

"Heathfield is a small school with big opportunities and a bold vision - to unlock every student’s potential and empower them to shine.

"Our leavers step into the world full of confidence, curiosity and ambition, ready to follow their passions and make their mark."
