STUDENTS at Chelmsley Wood's WMG Academy have celebrated a 100 per cent pass rate in their A Levels.
The site also announced that teenagers had chalked up the best ever set of engineering grades, when this year's results were announced last week.
Overall, 97 per cent of those who had taken a BTEC in the subject received at least a 'merit'.
Principal Stewart Tait said: "We are delighted that we have achieved such strong results only three years after opening.
"Our students are a credit to the academy and the hard work of both staff and students has shone through.
"This has been a positive set of results for us, following on from our ‘Good’ Ofsted rating earlier this year.
"We will continue to ensure that future students build on this success and continue to bridge the skills gap in the UK engineering sector."
The WMG Academy Solihull, in Chelmsley Road, welcomed its first students in 2016.
It teaches children aged 14 to 19, offering a range of vocational and academic courses.
