Headmaster, Dr Cox, commented on the outstanding A Level results, ‘these results are a testament to the ability and hard work of our boys, the support of the parents and the dedication of the staff at the RGS’. He added, ‘it is tremendous that, at a time when competition for university places has never been greater, the vast majority of our pupils have obtained a place at their first choice university. We are thrilled that 42 of our students will be taking up their places at Oxford and Cambridge this September.'
