It’s A-levels results week so to get folk in the mood, we’ve dipped into the Wigan picture library to find some some celebrations from Wigan’s two main sixth form centres in years past.

All these pictures were taken at Orrell St John Rigby College and Winstanley College in the first decade of the 21st century.
