Brighton College Al Ain is celebrating another year of outstanding A Level results

Head Master of Brighton College Al Ain, Scott Carnochan said:

“In a year which has seen our pupils return to formal examinations after two years of centre-assessed grades, I am hugely impressed with the outstanding results that our pupils have once again achieved.

“When you realise that these pupils have not had the opportunity to sit their GCSE examinations, and therefore have not faced public examinations, it makes their achievements even more impressive.

“Today we not only celebrate our top achievers, but we also celebrate many other A Level success stories, which we are equally thrilled with.

“Given the way this cohort has so conscientiously applied themselves to their studies, it is unsurprising, yet enormously impressive all the same, that they have secured such a high number of places to study at leading universities around the world.

“I am enormously proud of everything our pupils and teachers have achieved and I congratulate them on these impressive results which are testament to the outstanding teaching and care provided by our school community.”
