Dozens of Cardinal Langley Sixth Form students in Middleton are celebrating strong A-level and BTEC results this year, with many heading to their first-choice universities.
There were cheers, hugs and proud moments at Cardinal Langley Sixth Form today as students opened their long-awaited A-level and vocational results.
The school has reported another successful year, with more than four in ten A-level entries awarded grades A* to B. Meanwhile, 68% of BTEC qualifications were marked at either Distinction or the top-level Distinction Star.
This year’s results also show an improvement in students’ average UCAS point scores, with the majority now securing their preferred university offers.
Headteacher Andrew Bridson praised students not only for their academic effort but also for their wider contributions to school life, including volunteering, Duke of Edinburgh awards and community outreach.
“These results reflect two years of hard work, dedication and ambition,” he said. “We’re proud of every student, whether they’re going on to university, apprenticeships, or work. It’s been a collective effort, supported by our fantastic staff and the parents and carers who’ve been with them every step of the way.”
