Record Breaking A-Level Results at Salford City College!

Students at Salford City College’s Pendleton and Eccles Sixth Form Centres have once again achieved outstanding A-Level results. A remarkable 99% of A-Level students passed their exams.

One of these high achievers was 18-year-old Milan Patel who studied A-Levels in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics at Salford City College’s Pendleton Sixth Form Centre. His superb results (ABB) have secured him a place at the University of Liverpool where he will study Pharmacology.

Former Bedford High School pupil, said “I’m so happy I’ve secured my place at university, it’s nice that it was live on TV so that all my family in America could see how well I’ve done too.”

Another student who received superb results was 18-year-old, Emily Shaw, former St Patrick’s High School pupil who joined the College two years ago with all A* at GCSE. She has once again exceeded expectations by achieving A*A*A in her A-Level Biology, Geography and Chemistry. She said, “I’m so relieved and happy that I’ve got into my first choice studying Medicine at the University of Liverpool!”
