Brilliant Results for Blackpool Sixth Students

Blackpool Sixth students and staff are once again celebrating a brilliant set of A level and BTEC level 3 results. 50 courses had a 100% pass rate and overall high grades for Level 3 subjects have increased yet again. Furthermore, the upper high grades (highest possible grades) have also continued the upward trend of year on year improvement.  85% of students holding university offers were able to secure their place on results day, which is 9% higher than last year. Seven students gained places at Oxford or Cambridge university.

These results come against the backdrop of the continuing Coronavirus pandemic and the cancellation of the summer exams.  After a rigorous quality assurance process, the college submitted its subject grades for each student to the exam board, carefully following the instructions of the qualifications authority, Ofqual.  The exam boards then issued the final results following a national standardisation process.

Blackpool Sixth Principal, Jill Gray, commented, “We really are thrilled with these wonderful results and are extremely proud of our students’ achievements, especially given the turmoil and setbacks that they have faced over the past few months. The passion, commitment and resilience shown by both students and staff is exceptional and these results are a testament to their hard work and dedication during these unprecedented times. The students now have an excellent foundation for the next stage of their education or career. We wish them all the very best of luck for the future.”
