Leeds triplets celebrate A-level results

Felicity, Ian and David Jordan, pupils at The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL), are looking forward to university life after achieving the results.

Head girl Felicity achieved an A* in religious studies, with an A in German and psychology. She will study law at Birmingham University.

Joining her at Birmingham is her brother Ian, who will study psychology after gaining an A* in English literature and As in history and psychology.

David scored straight As in design technology, maths and physics, and will study ship science, yacht and small craft at Southampton.

The independent school is celebrating a record set of results, with 19.5% achieving the coveted A* grade - up 2% on last year - and 12 students achieving three or more.

Six students at GSAL gained four A*s each in this year’s results.

Principal Mike Gibbons said: “This is a wonderful set of results and I am very proud of our students.

“It has been a testing year for all A-level students, with unprecedented demand for university places, so it is gratifying to see that our students have succeeded in achieving offers from the UK’s top universities and have gained the results to take up these places.

“Results like these are not achieved without dedication and sheer hard work. I offer my congratulations to all our students and to the staff for the part they have played in these well-earned achievements.”
