Access Tools

Students across Knowsley are celebrating another year of success this morning after picking up their A Level exam results.

Provisional results released today (Thursday, August 16), show 96.7 % of students from across Knowsley including Knowsley Community College gained A Level passes.
Halewood College saw a big increase in its A – C pass rate – from 48.3% last year to 68% this year. And All Saints Catholic High School in Kirkby achieved 100 per cent pass rate overall (grades A – E).

Cllr Graham Wright , Cabinet Member for Children’s Services, said: “Congratulations to all our students on another set of excellent results. Behind the figures lie months of hard work and many individual success stories. I wish the young people the very best for the future as they move on to further education, training or employment.”

Adding his congratulations, Damian Allen, Executive Director of Children’s Services at Knowsley, said:
“We have seen some excellent results this year, not just at A level but in other level 3 qualifications as well such BTEC Nationals and other professional and occupational qualifications. They are testament to the efforts of our students, the commitment of their teachers and the vital role played by our highly successful 14 – 19 Collegiate.”
The Knowsley 14-19 collegiate is a partnership involving the local authority, all secondary schools, Knowsley Community College, Connexions and employers in the borough. Using a more vocationally relevant curriculum, the collegiate has seen an increase in the number of students opting to stay on in education after the age of 16.
