Students at St Columba's College celebrated a great set of A level results after making it through two incredibly tough years.

Students were unable to sit GCSE examinations in 2020 and so this summer’s exams were the first external assessments sat by this cohort.

Outgoing Headmaster David Buxton said: "Students should be extremely proud of what they have achieved and commended for their hard work and resilience.

"The results allow students to progress towards their desired career paths.

"On behalf of the students and their parents, I convey my gratitude to the staff for the outstanding quality of their teaching and guidance."

44% of all grades were awarded at A*/A and 78% at A*-B and 65% of students achieved at least one A grade.

The majority of students have gained places at their first-choice universities.
