Commenting on these remarkable achievements, Barney Durrant, Head Master at Brighton College Abu Dhabi, said: “I am delighted with the efforts of our Upper Sixth pupils, who have gained outstanding results this year. Twenty-one pupils have gained a 'clean sweep' of A*/A grades, with six of them gaining an A* in every subject. Whilst the absolute results are excellent, it is also gratifying to see the very strong value-added figures, demonstrating the success and achievements of all of our pupils. These results are testament to their hard work, approach to learning and the culture of excellence running throughout the school, as well as the dedication and commitment of their teachers.”

Jennifer Walters, Head of Senior School at Brighton College Abu Dhabi, said: “Our Year 13 take their next steps beyond Brighton, qualified and equipped to make a positive impact on the world around them. Pupils have been inspired to achieve by dedicated teachers, and, by their own commitment and flair, have achieved outstanding results both individually and as a cohort. We wish every pupil the very best for their bright futures, and congratulate them for rising so convincingly to the challenge of A Level learning during their Sixth Form years.”
