The Sixth Form Bolton Delighted with 98% A Level Pass Rate


The Sixth Form Bolton are pleased to announce another year of excellent Advanced Level results, with students studying both academic and vocational qualifications performing above national benchmarks. The Sixth Form are delighted with an overall 98% pass rate for A Levels, with 72% of all subjects achieving a 100% pass rate, and 98% of BTEC Extended Diploma students achieving higher-grade passes exceeding National Benchmarks.

 The Sixth Form has one of the highest national progression rates to Higher Education out of all the categories of post-16 education. The majority of students will now secure their places at universities across the country, progressing to study a broad range of subjects encompassing: sciences, medicine, law, business, music, arts, sports and humanities. Although increasingly many students now choose to move on to Higher and Degree Apprenticeships with several students securing places with prestigious companies across the UK.

 Principal, Stuart Merrills, said:

“I would like to acknowledge and applaud all our students receiving their results today. We are immensely proud of their achievements, as they carry on the tradition of The Sixth Form’s record for excellent student achievement and onward progression. This year’s results are a testament to the hard work of our students alongside our experienced and dedicated teachers and support staff. Students are very pleased to have achieved the grades they need to progress onto their desired destination.”
We would like to wish them all the very best for the future and to thank them for their excellent contribution to The Sixth Form in maintaining our position as a nationally high achieving Sixth Form College.”
