Year 13 students at Rivers Academy in Feltham have achieved record-breaking A'level results

27% of all A-level grades were at A* or A and 53% of all grades were at A*-B.

This year’s cohort of 40 students have secured places at prestigious UK universities including Oxford, Birmingham, Imperial and Queen Mary.

One student has also secured a place at a US Ivy League university.

18 year old Aanchal Thapa is flying out today.

She achieved two A*s and an A in Biology, Mathematics and Chemistry.

She will now take up her place to study at Rice University in Texas where she will major in Natural Sciences.

Rice is a prestigious Ivy League university and received applications from 27,000 students this year with only 2,000 accepted and only 10% of those from overseas.
