A student has achieved 12 A*s and one A in her GCSEs.
The results came as part of a record-breaking year at Westbourne School, where 72 per cent of students achieved A*-A grades and 91 per cent achieved A*-B.
Most students earned nine or more A*/A grades.
Ilaria, the top scorer, said: "My Westbourne experience has been super supportive.
"The fact that every teacher knows you and your learning journey really well makes the classes more enjoyable and supportive.
"My favourite subject is definitely maths.
"I have such a supportive, knowledgeable and kind teacher, which I’m sure my whole year group would agree with."
The results reflect the school’s future-focused curriculum, with 88 per cent of students earning A*-A in business and 80 per cent in science and maths.
In maths alone, 65 per cent of students achieved an A*.
Rachel Rees, principal at Westbourne School, said: "Congratulations to our GCSE students on these record-breaking results.
"At Westbourne, we start GCSE study in Year 9, which means that students gain a crucial extra year to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence required to truly excel.
"We’re so proud of the hard work and tenacity our Year 11 students have shown throughout their studies, and of their academic curiosity and willingness to embrace new ideas at every turn.
"These fantastic results are also testament to our incredible teachers, who are so supportive of each and every student from the moment they begin their GCSEs, tailoring the curriculum and embracing the latest innovation to ensure individual success."
Caleb, a student who has been at Westbourne since nursery, said: "I’m delighted with my results.
"I’m so grateful to my teachers for their support.
"They’ve been really selfless, taking time out during lunch and on their breaks to help with revision."
Earlier this summer, the school’s Year 13 students achieved top marks in the IB Diploma and secured places on leading STEM degree programmes.
From September, Westbourne will offer A-Levels alongside the IB Diploma to give students more choice in their academic pathways.
