    Students at Harrogate Ladies College have achieved over 50% more A* to A's in their A-level results than previous year groups.

    Further success was achieved with 85% of the girls achieving A* to C grades across all subjects.

    Unlike other schools in the district, the pupils were invited to a socially distant celebration on the lawn after reading their results online this morning.

    Sylvia Brett, principal of Harrogate Ladies’ College, said:

    “We are enormously proud of the achievements of all our girls who have worked incredibly hard in these exceptional and challenging circumstances. As an all-girls school we make it our business to encourage the girls to be bold and brave in their subject choices away from fear of judgement or embarrassment.
    "I’m delighted to see that so many of them have achieved so highly across such a breadth of subjects. The teaching staff at Harrogate Ladies’ College and I are extremely proud of them all.”


    As with all schools, the college students were unable to take their exams this year due to coronavirus. The grades have been calculated using a range of factors and then standardised by government body Ofqual.
