Figures show the number of A grades gained by privately-educated teenagers increased by more than two per cent this year. The rise was at least twice that achieved in state comprehensives, grammar schools or colleges.
In all, more than half of A-level entries in independent schools were graded an A – the first time the number of top marks has exceeded 50 per cent.
