TOP MARKS FOR STOCKPORT COLLEGE ‘A’ LEVEL STUDENTS ON THE BBC

STOCKPORT College is delighted with its students as it has achieved 98.4 per cent pass rate for A levels, once again performing above the national average pass rate. The College’s results day became the focus of national interest when cameras from BBC visited to film students opening their results during live pieces to camera on BBC Breakfast.

Year on year the results are well above the national average and this year’s 98.4 per cent pass rate is a true testament to the hard work that has been put in by both the students and teachers.

         These results will give the students a real advantage
         when they move to Higher Education or Employment
         with many students continuing at the Stockport College
         University Centre, where places are still available. The
         University Centre offers are more affordable option for
         higher education programmes such as a degree, HND
         and HNC

Josette Bennett, Assistant Principal Science, Engineering and General Education, said:

“We are delighted with the achievement of our students. This is a true testament to the hard work that has been put in by both the students and teachers. Students have excelled in all areas of study, arming themselves with the qualifications and skills they need to progress on to university, employment or further training.”

     Stockport College (pictured left) were
     filmed by the BBC Breakfast team as
     they opened their results in front of
     millions of viewers.

      The college stated that the results are great news for their high
      achievers at a time when universities have announced the
      removal of the limit of places available to high grade students.

       Deputy Principal Karen Moss, said:
       ““We are delighted with our 98.4 per cent A2 Level pass rate.
       This year we have seen many examples of young people
       achieving their best and being able to progress to the university of their choice through their commitment to succeed and the support of some fantastic tutors and the student advice team.”
