Bury College students and staff raise £6,800* for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, and spread the importance of Remembrance Day.
It has been a year of exceptional achievement for hundreds of Bury College students who have received their results today.
An initial study of the results indicates:
- 91 Advanced Level 3 courses achieving 100% pass rates
- 250 students achieving Triple Distinctions or above
- An excellent pass rate of 98% for Advanced Level courses
Charlie Deane, Bury College Principal and Chief Executive, is delighted:
“Bury College is incredibly proud of all its students who have continued to adapt and progress, both academically and personally through challenging times. They are a credit to the College, themselves, their families and the wider Bury community.
“After another year of exceptional results, hundreds of students have had their hard work pay off and are on target to take up university places, and many more will be progressing into jobs and apprenticeships.
“Bury College is committed to delivering positive futures for all our students. Students benefit from a wide range of key personal development opportunities within their studies, which provide them with vital skills for jobs as well as skills for life.
“On behalf of the Bury College Corporation and all our staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our students every success at university, work or further study.”
