Exam Results and Performance
We’re Manchester’s number one sixth form college for A Level and BTEC Level 3 progress.
Our 2023 results:
-
83% are planning on attending university
-
97% pass rate
-
65% achieved all grades at A*-C (or equivalent)
-
49% achieved at least one grade B/Distinction or above
84% of Triple BTEC students achieved top grades (several were awarded places at prestigious Russell Group Universities)
We have a strong focus here on progress. Some 2022 stats:
- On average our students achieved half a grade higher than they were expected to compared to other sixth forms across the country for our BTEC courses.
- Science is one of our real strengths. For example, students on our Applied Science course, on average achieved one and a half grades higher than they were expected to compared to other sixth forms in the country.
- Benefitting from a great relationship with the Co-op, students on our BTEC Business course, on average achieved one grade higher than they were expected to compared to other sixth forms in the country.
- We’re committed to sustainability and students entering jobs in the ‘Green Economy’. Our A Level Geography results were in the top 10% of the nation’s results for progress in 2022.
- Students studying Sports Exercise Science and Sports and Performance were all in the top 25% of national performance for progress. We work closely with MCFC, Nuffield Health and GLL to provide excellent work-related learning opportunities for students on these courses.
- We have a strong offer in facilitating A Level subjects for Law, with A Level English Literature, Business, History and Sociology students all achieved on average higher than expected progress.
- We buck the national trend as our disadvantaged A Level students outperform their peers. We work hard to ensure that a students’ background never limits their academic performance.
