This year 44.8 per cent of A-levels in the UK were awarded top grades compared to 25.5 per cent in 2019, the last year that students took formal exams.
At Brampton Manor Academy 55 pupils got the A-level grades needed for them to study at Oxbridge, which is more than the offers made to Eton College students.
