West Hatch High School has celebrated fantastic A-level results and a 100% pass rate.
Well over 60 per cent of the results awarded to students at the Chigwell school were at grades A* to B.
The vast majority of students gained access to their first-choice universities with a number securing higher level apprenticeships or employment.
Head teacher Daniel Leonard said: "All of our students’ hard work and high aspirations have paid off and their determination to succeed has embodied the school’s motto to be ‘The Best that I Can Be'.

“These are the first real examinations our students have sat having been hit with Covid lockdowns when they were in Year 11, and I know how nervous they all were.
"I also know how hard they all worked and these results are a testament to a fantastic group of students who overcame all the obstacles in front of them.
“We are all exceptionally proud of what they have achieved.
"Results like these do not just happen, and I would like to thank the school’s staff on behalf of the students for all their dedication and support for the students over the last two years.
"I’d like to wish all our students the very best of luck for the next stage in their lives in whichever path they choose to take, whether it be university, apprenticeships or straight into the world of work.”
Four students received all A* grades at A-level and eight received all distinctions at BTEC.
Several subject areas performed particularly well this year, for example government and politics, business studies and art all achieving 100 per cent A*-B grades.
Economics students earned 91% top grades followed by history at 86%, PE at 83%, and religious studies at 78%.
University destinations include the University of Manchester for law and aerospace engineering, Southampton for medicine, mathematics, and environmental science, Queen Mary for law, business management, and marketing, York for film production and the University of Art for fashion journalism.
Students are due to take up degree apprenticeships at companies such as Deloittes, AIG and WTW Insurance.
