De Aston staff were out bright and early to welcome students from 8am.
Many already had their university places confirmed, but didn’t know the exact results.
There joy – with just the occasional tears – were shared by their fellow students and teachers.
Head teacher Simon Porter said: “They are all exceptional, inspiring, and talented young people in their own ways and we couldn’t be prouder of them.”
