Subject: RE: A level results being celebrated?
From the Times:

Queen Elizabeth (Boys' Grammar) School in Barnet, North London, is the leading state school in The Times league table of A-level results, showing that boys do not always perform less well than girls. It is among a clutch of selective schools to dominate the rankings.

Of the 139 boys at the school receiving their A-level results yesterday, 37 have confirmed places at Oxford or Cambridge.

Bloody hell, when I was there (I left in 1964) we got an extra day's holiday if a boy got a place at Oxford or Cambridge!
