Almost every A-level student at a school were offered places at their university of choice, as other schools also celebrated their students’ success.
St Michael’s Catholic High School, in High Elms Lane, Watford, announced the high success rate as pupils discovered their results.
Head teacher Edward Conway said: “We are delighted with the excellent A-level results achieved by our students which demonstrates their outstanding effort over the past two years which have been unprecedented due to Covid."
He continued:“These results show the commitment of our students towards their studies in difficult circumstances.
“I am also extremely grateful to our excellent staff for their superb teaching and dedication towards our students.
“We wish our class of 2022 every success in their futures whether they are at university, entering the world of work or taking up further training opportunities.”

Elsewhere, The Reach Free School says that over 50% of grades its pupils achieved were A* to A and 69% were A to B.
The majority of students secured a place at their first-choice university, with many now moving onto top Russell Group universities.
Students have had similar successes securing places on degree apprenticeships and the armed forces.
Richard Booth, headteacher, said: “This cohort has been an amazing group of students and we are so proud of their achievements.
"They have worked incredibly hard and thoroughly deserve these grades.
"It has been lovely to be able to celebrate with them, and their families today, and we wish them all the very best with their future endeavours."
At Rickmansworth School, 90% of their students achieved an A* to C grade and the average was a B.
Attainment across the nation increased compared with 2019 outcomes, but at Rickmansworth School the increase was much higher than the national picture.
Students achieved places at numerous universities including Oxbridge and The Russell Group.
The school said: "After two very challenging years, not only in terms of the academic rigour of A Levels but also the impact of the pandemic, both staff and students were both anxious and hopeful that hard work and diligence would pay off; but pay off it did!"
