London students have continued to score the best GCSE results in the country despite the capital seeing the largest increase in the number of teenagers failing to get a decent pass.Hundreds of thousands of teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland found out how they did in their GCSEs on Thursday, as top grades nationwide rose from last year but fewer entries scored a good pass, national figures show.Londoners were “far ahead of any other region” when it came to achieving at least a 7 or an A grade, with 28.4% getting those top results.
