A state school in one of London's poorest boroughs announced 50 of its students would be heading to Oxford or Cambridge University following A-Level results day.

Brampton Manor Academy, located in the district of Newham, East London, now sends more students to Oxbridge than Eton College does.

Among them will be Luke, who got four A*s and will study mathematics and statistics at the University of Oxford.

Another top achiever was Jo, who secured three A*s and will study human, social, and political sciences at the University of Cambridge.

The school is celebrating after nearly 350 of its students achieved straight A*s and As.

More than 90 per cent of this year's cohort will be joining a Russell Group university.

Some 349 pupils got either an A* or A in all their subjects, and the school broke its own record after 150 students achieved straight A* grades.

Executive principal, Dayo Olukoshi, said: "I am very delighted with the incredible achievement of our students and the high number progressing to Oxbridge this year.

"These students combine exceptional academic ability with an exemplary work ethic.

"I am very proud of them and indeed our entire cohort of Year 13 students, who have remained focused, despite the many challenges and obstacles in their way and have been rewarded with offers from the country's most prestigious universities."

Since 2012, when the sixth form college opened, more than 400 Brampton Manor students have gone to either Oxford or Cambridge University.

One student, Mahek, achieved two A*s and one A and is heading to the London School of Economics to study history.

Another, Farhaan, who secured three A*s, is set to join Imperial College London to study medicine.

The school posted on their X account: "Brampton students demonstrate year after year that success can be achieved through effort and determination.

"We are therefore very pleased that a massive 340+ students achieved straight A*/A grades in their A levels."

Results day, which took place on Thursday (August 16), was also a success for students across Oxfordshire.

The county saw 32.8 per cent of its students secure A-Level grades of A or above, higher than the national average of 27.3 per cent.

This included two sets of twins at a west Oxfordshire school who secured entry to Oxbridge universities.

Barney, a student at Bartholomew School, in Eynsham, attained three A*s and one A which means he will study physics at Oxford University.

Meanwhile, his twin brother, Jake, is set to attend Cambridge University to study engineering following his two A*s and one A.
