WINSTANLEY COLLEGE has once again achieved above the A-levels grades achieved by students in other colleges nationally. 

Overall, students achieved a pass rate of 99 per cent with 31 per cent of those being A/A* grades - above the national average of 25 per cent.

A total of 99 students got three or more As or A*s and the majority of students secured their first choice place, many of them at Russell Group universities.

Ten students who will be going to Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

An outstanding number of students are also going on to medicine, dentistry and veterinary (MDV) degrees.

Winstanley’s MDV programme continues its long standing tradition of success in preparing students for entry to these highly competitive professions.

Music, theatre and art students who have been studying practical vocational courses have done equally impressively bringing in 93 per cent A*/A equivalent between them.

To achieve these grades, students need to have both academic excellence and creative talent and these are the qualifications needed to secure places at prestigious specialist colleges such as the Royal College of Music, the Royal Northern College of Music and Central St Martins in London.
