A STATE school in one of London's poorest boroughs has outperformed Eton with 250 straight As on A level results day.

Dozens of pupils at the East Ham school defied the odds to gain places at universities such as Oxford , Cambridge , Imperial and UCL.

The remarkable achievement eclipsed some of the richest schools in the country such as Eton College despite significantly less resources.

Over 250 students at a London academy have achieved straight A grades as the successful school celebrated its best-ever results.

The school in Newham, one of London's poorest boroughs, became famous for sending more students to Oxbridge than Eton.

More than 400 have earned places at the esteemed establishments in the 12 years since it opened its sixth form in 2012.

At Brampton Manor Academy last year 150 students achieved straight A* grades, while 349 pupils received either an A* or A in all their subjects.

Many of the high achievers at the school are from ethnic minority backgrounds, in receipt of free school meals or will be their family's first to attend university.

One student at Brampton Manor, Mate-Stefan Berghes, achieved four straight A*s and will study Engineering Science at the   University of Oxford.
