Added to that, 11 students achieved straight A*/A grades.

Samuel said: “I am blown away with my results and so thankful to the AKS teachers who have helped me to achieve all that I have whilst at school: the highlight being our visit to Buckingham Palace last year as national runners-up in the Tycoon in Schools business enterprise competition”.

He will now study medicine at Manchester.

Delighted Ishwar said: “AKS has been a great place to study A-levels.
