STUDENTS and staff at Alderley Edge School for Girls (AESG) are over the moon following another year of excellent A-level results.

The class of 2017 achieved an overall pass rate of 100 per cent, with a third of all grades being an A or an A*, and 96 per cent of students meeting their university offers.

Helen Jeys, headteacher at AESG, told the Guardian that she was delighted with the A-level results from her first year at the helm.

She said: “We’ve got some fantastic results, and I’m really delighted that we’ve got girls who have done well in such a massive breadth of subjects, and they’re going on to such a wide variety of subjects at university.

“I spoke to someone who is going to do ocean science, we’ve got medicine, English literature, sports management, events management, architecture and such a variety of things that the girls are going into.

“You look after them and nurture them, do everything you can for them and then seeing them now as young women, going into the world and going on to university.

“I think the girls know that the skills we have given them here, they will take with them for the rest of their lives, and they will be role models for all of the girls at our school.”

Students achieved straight A* grades in photography, while all grades in English literature and design technology were A* or A, and all grades in business, geography and Spanish were A* to B.

Several pupils also succeeded in the extended project qualification, working on projects as diverse as the social influence of the cocoa bean, the psychology and manufacturing of modern fashion and the causes of the English Reformation.
