THE hard work and determination of both staff and students at Cheshire College – South and West has resulted in the highest number of A* grades achieved in its history.

Pupils received more than 180 A*-A grades, with 30 students achieving A*- A in all chosen subjects.

Jasbir Dhesi, principal and CEO of Cheshire College, commented: “We are delighted with the brilliant results our students have received this year and it couldn’t have been possible without the hard work and determination of both the staff and students; many of whom will be continuing their studies at some of the UK’s most prestigious universities or heading for a range of apprenticeship and full-time employment opportunities with industry powerhouses.

“This news tops off a great year that marked the fifth anniversary of Cheshire College – South and West, and myself and the team are incredibly excited to continue to build on the positive impact the college has had so far on our students, with regional and national employers, and the wider community.”

Ruth Szolkowska, vice principal for innovation, curriculum and quality at Cheshire College, added: “It’s been wonderful to celebrate our students’ achievements today but to also be given the opportunity to teach, guide and support each individual so that they can reach their full potential and progress onto exciting next steps.”
