BOLTON School girls' were back to celebrate their A-level results in the traditional way.
Covid meant last year they were unable to collect their results in school last year.
This year, Year 13 were able to share their successes with their friends and teachers.
An outstanding 89 per cent of students achieved facilitating grades of at least ABB, offering them access to the top universities. Over three quarters — 77.8 per cent — of grades awarded in the girls’ division this year were A* or A, of which 40.4 per cent are A*. And 93 per cent of girls received at least one A* or A and more than half received 3 As or better.
An outstanding 94.3 per cent of grades were between A* and B and the pass rate for the cohort of 75 was 100 per cent.

Acting Headmistress Lynne Kyle said: "I am delighted with this year’s A Level examination results. The girls have worked hard and navigated an uncertain year with resilience and determination. I am confident that the vast majority of the pupils will be delighted today.
"They also have much to be grateful for and are fortunate to have been guided by such dedicated staff during their Sixth Form years."
