Head Master of Brighton College Al Ain, Dr Kenneth Greig said: “This has been another extremely difficult year for out pupils, but I’m pleased that the awarding bodies have placed their trust in Centre Assessed Grades. The hard work carried out by Brighton College Al Ain pupils and their teachers has resulted in yet another superb set of results which gives our pupils an excellent basis for success at A Level and beyond.”

He added: “It is also important to celebrate the pupils who achieved brilliant GCSE grades which, at the start of the year, no-one would have predicted. That added-value comes about through a combination of many things, not least a sense of belonging to a community of learners.”
