Deputy head Russell Taylor told the Post how his secondary in Gosfield Road, Dagenham, had received its highest ever pass rate, with 70 per cent of students bagging A*-C and 100 per cent A*-E.

“The staff at this school are outstanding,” he said. “They understand the pressure the kids are under to achieve.

“I also know what it is like as I used to be a student here when Sir Paul Grant was a teacher. Now he’s the headmaster, the school has completely turned around.”

High achiever Harry Coster has already planned his future after excelling with three A*.

“I’m going to do a degree in maths and economics because I want to get a job in the City. I’m not sure what job exactly, but I know I’ve got my whole future ahead of me.”
