STUDENTS at Wigan and Leigh College are celebrating after achieving a 100 per cent pass rate in A-levels and 99.9 per cent pass rate in advanced vocational qualifications.
It has been another outstanding year for the A Level Professional Honours Programme with the majority of students achieving A*- B.
This will ensure they secure their next step to study at university or a degree apprenticeship.
Principal Anna Dawe said: “Our A Level Professional Honours Programme and Vocational students have surpassed themselves once again and I am delighted with the results.
"Our students undertake additional vocational qualifications related to their career and have completed substantial industry placements and we are extremely proud of their achievements. "Their academic attainment combined with the technical skills they’ve developed means they can choose between the excellent university offers they’ve received and degree apprenticeship opportunities that are now available. We wish all of our students every success for their future. ”
