Overall, approximately 80 per cent of all grades awarded to advanced level students were high grades (A*-B or equivalent).
A 100 per cent pass rate was once again achieved across all advanced level qualifications and almost half of the advanced vocational students achieved the very highest grade available, a triple-distinction-star.
Delighted Runshaw principal Simon Partington said: “This has been yet another day of great celebrations at the college and we sincerely congratulate all of our students for the hard work and dedication that has led to their well-deserved success.
