One school, three sets of twins and 58 top grades to celebrate between them in Ripon
Ripon Grammar School’s Louisa and Katharine Chatterton achieved 22 A* and A grades, closely followed by Lorcan and Molly Gallagher with 21 top grades and boarding brothers Harry and George Stratford with 15.
Katharine, who is considering going to drama school after A-levels in maths, French, English literature and RE, said: “We’re very independent and have different ways of working but when we got sick of being inside revising we started going on walks and taking flash cards and reciting facts to each other.
“We ended up going out every day, for hours at a time.”

Hide AdLouisa, who will take A-levels in maths, English, chemistry and biology, added: “Sometimes the twins rivalry thing is difficult but we know each other so well and know our own strengths and weaknesses and we’re just very supportive of each other, so we were both very happy when we opened our envelopes.”
Harry, who is the elder twin by two minutes and is staying on to do A-levels in maths, physics, chemistry and PE, said: “We work together and help each other out when we can.”
George, who is doing economics, geography, physics and maths at A-level, added: “We always try to beat each other at everything we do, but it’s good because it pushes you on to do better all the time.”
Ripon Grammar School is a selective, co-educational state school with boarding accommodation for 100 students.
