AN impressive set of A-level results was achieved by delighted year 13 students at Nailsea School this year.
Cheers of excitement filled the school as students ripped open their results and celebrated with friends.
Out of the papers graded, 73.2 per cent were A*-C while 22.1 per cent were A*-A.
Among the top scorers were student presidents Oli Presland and Alice Keyworth who achieved an A* and A in mathematics, respectively, with Oli also scoring three Bs and Alice achieving one B and one C.
