Speaking today, she said: “I had to be organised to ensure I covered all of my GCSE classwork and revision but it was great to be part of such a high profile show for an iconic brand.”

Olivia isn’t the only student celebrating today as 87% of entrants achieving A* or A grades.

Putney was seeing double at the celebrations as no fewer than three sets of twins collected their results – Phoebe and Rosanna Codrington, Eleanor and Lydia Tsoukkas and Clara and Martha Finn.

Clara was also one of nine Putney students to achieve all A* grades
