One in three pupils got all A* to A grades at Bow School, which has its best-ever A Level and Btec results “in the face of unprecedented challenges”.
They learned much by remote online from home during lockdown.
“They will be found in top universities around the UK,” headteacher Danny Lye said today. “We’ve seen some inspiring stories, going on to places like King’s College London, Manchester and Edinburgh.”
Several move onto King’s College, ranked one of the top 10 in the world.
Among them is Jame Huynh, who got four A*s. He put it down to smaller classes.

She recalled: “Teachers were always accessible despite not being in the classroom, so our education didn’t suffer while learning remotely.”

He said: “The pastoral care at Bow is superb where teachers know what students need to be successful.”
