Students at The Manchester College are celebrating excellent AS and A level results. The overall college pass rate at A level was 97%, with a 100% pass rate in 16 subjects. 1,141 AS and A level exams were taken at the college this year.

Brian Azizi, originally from Germany, has been accepted to the University of Cambridge to study maths, thanks to his three A*s in physics, maths and further maths and A in chemistry.

Yumna Raja, from New Moston, was delighted with her three As in AS biology, chemistry and maths and B in English language and literature. She hopes to get four As in her A2s next year so she can study optometry at the University of Manchester.

Yumna said: ‘I chose North Manchester Sixth Form College because I’d heard it had an excellent reputation for maths and science subjects.’

Rachel Colwell, from Sale, achieved an A* in law and As in English language and film studies. She has a place to study psychology at the University of Sheffield. This is a great achievement because psychology was not one of Rachel’s A level subjects.

Ali Ghaffar and Beatrice Porcescue also achieved four As – Ali in biology, chemistry, physics and maths, Beatrice in business studies, psychology, economics and maths.

The college achieved 100% pass rates in 16 subjects

The college achieved 100% pass rates in 16 subjects, including maths, business studies, English language, French, German, media, psychology, sociology, chemistry and history. The highest number of A*, A and B grades were in chemistry (56%), maths (49%), history (45%), sociology (44%) and physics (42%).

Deputy Principal Jack Carney congratulated the students on their results: ‘This year’s achievements have been fantastic, with the vast majority of our students having achieved the grades they need to progress. These results help to reinforce our commitment to widening participation and raising attainment among under-represented groups within the city of Manchester and beyond, and are testament to the hard work of both the students and our staff.’
