Jewish schools have maintained their academic momentum with another set of A-level results to delight pupils, parents and teachers.

Yavneh College will be sending a record eight students to Oxford and Cambridge- nearly 10 per cent of its sixth form - while JFS went one better than its previous Oxbridge best with 17.

Hollie Berman, from Bushey, who is off to Cambridge to study English after gaining two A* grades in history and art and an A in English at Yavneh, said, after opening her envelope last Thursday, "I don't really believe that it's actually happened."

Other top performers at the Hertfordshire school included Adam Steinberg with 4 A*s; Elliot Goldberg 3 A*s and an A; Oliver Boyne and Zac Galibov with 3 A*s apiece; and Daniel Braun, Adam Freedman, Gilad Gur-Harosh, Luke Levy, Joe Massias, Josh Newington, Gideon Rudolph, Josh Tray and Leah Winton, each landing two A*s and an A.
