A WOODLEY college has seen almost two-thirds of its pupils obtain A* to B grades, with 35% achieving A* to A in their A-Level results.
Lindsey Humber, head of school at Waingels College, said the staff are “immensely proud” of the students’ achievements after two years of disrupted learning.
She said: “Our students have shown remarkable maturity and resilience and our teachers and support staff have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto further education and study, and we look forward to seeing what they will achieve in the future.”
As well as A-Levels, pupils on vocational courses are receiving their results today and the average grade at Waingels was a distinction.
The school is also celebrating some of its pupils’ “truly outstanding achievements”.
