 | | For the second year in succession, Wycombe Abbey, a girls' boarding school in Buckinghamshire, has topped the Telegraph's league table of the 350 leading independent schools. |
 | | A record 98 per cent of the 250 A-levels taken by 76 girls were graded A or B; 78 per cent of them were graded A. However, Pauline Davies, head for the past six years, dismissed any suggestion that A-levels had become too easy for able pupils. |
 | | Close behind Wycombe Abbey, where boarding fees are £21,900 a year, came St Paul's Girls', followed by Westminster, a boys' school with a co-educational sixth form, St Paul's (boys') and North London Collegiate, all of which are usually among the top five. |
