Delighted students and staff were all smiles after ‘glowing’ A-level results.

The Year 13 students got the much-awaited results on August 17 across schools in Chesham, Amersham and Little Chalfont.

At Chesham Grammar School, almost 50 percent of pupils got A* or A grade and more than 80 percent received A* to B grades.

Headteacher Annmarie McNaney said: “This year group has had to deal with so much disruption and uncertainty over the last few years and demonstrated resilience, determination and aspiration throughout. I congratulate them on their achievements and thank the staff for their dedication and parents for their support. I wish all our students the very best in life beyond CGS.”

At Dr Challoner's High School, Adhvika, who got three A* grades and an A and is off to study engineering at Cambridge University, said she has “loved every minute” at the school.

This year 54 percent of grades were A* or A while 20 percent were A*.

Headteacher Alan Roe congratulated the “respectful” and “ambitious” pupils and “passionate and hard-working staff for the great job they have done.”

Students at Amersham School were planning on “apprenticeships, ski seasons and even a golf scholarship in the US,” deputy headteacher Katie Strain said.

Cyrus Hassan is off to study international business management at University of Bristol after achieving two A*s and two D*s.

“Congratulations to everyone; we are thrilled for you all! We wish you all the best for the next steps,” Ms Strain added.

At Dr Challoner's Grammar School, 65 percent of marks were A* to A and 83 percent were A* to B grades. 

Headteacher David Atkinson said the students had worked together to "seize the opportunities" during Sixth Form despite "such a disrupted time earlier in their education." 

He continued: "They deserve this moment in the limelight to celebrate how they have developed and the successes they have achieved. Thanks, too, to our dedicated and highly capable team of staff who have guided and challenged them through the last two years, and to the parents and families whose support is so important. We wish them all the very best for their next steps and look forward to hearing all about it in due course."
