More outstanding results for Priestley

After the publication of the 2010 A-Level results, Priestley College was once again celebrating after achieving an outstanding 99% + pass rate for the sixth year in succession.

The College had its highest ever number of entries, totalling 1480 linking to the unprecedented success that Priestley has experienced in recent years in A-Level and Vocational programmes.

37 Advanced Level subjects obtained a perfect 100% pass rate, whilst 5% of students were able to obtain the first ever awards at A*.

Meanwhile over 72% of grades were in the A* - C boundary, whilst there were some 38 individual students who achieved three straight A grades or above.

The picture was similarly pleasing on BTEC National programmes with over 60% of grades awarded at distinction level and 50 students achieving a triple distinction.

As always A-Levels results day proved to be a colourful day on campus with students now considering a range of options for the future whether that be through a university degree programme, gap year or the world of work.

Principal, Mike Southworth, was enthused by the day and the opportunities now available to those departing Priestley and commented, "Once again A-Level results day has proved to be an excellent event on campus. I was delighted to see so many energetic and smiling young people who are now ready to take their next step in life."

Adding, "The results have been outstanding and I place on record my thanks to all those involved in the success story that continues to be Priestley College."
