Burnley College celebrates a day of success, of pride, of joy and emotion as students receive their A Level, Vocational and T Level results.
Every result tells a story of hard work, determination and dreams realised. Whether students are securing places at the University of Oxford, Edinburgh, Durham, one of dozens of other prestigious universities, or embarking on promising careers, pursuing personal passions and taking their skills into the wider world, Burnley College has been there every step of the way, helping them unlock their potential.
A Level, T Level and Vocational students arrived at college with families and friends to discover their results and share their happiness with each other.
EXAMPLES OF INDIVIDUAL RESULTS
Interim Principal Kate Wallace shared her delight, saying:
“This day is so much bigger than the celebrations we see here at Burnley College.
“It’s a celebration of the journeys our learners have undertaken to get here. It’s a celebration of the resilience, drive and a commitment to their ambitions to achieve.
“I could not be more proud. These results are a credit to our incredible learners and to our dedicated staff who have guided, supported and inspired them.
“Together, they’ve achieved remarkable things and will continue to grow, improve and inspire new generations themselves.”
Abigail Geary, who is also heading to the University of Oxford where she will be reading Biology. She says her tutor Tytus was one of the driving forces behind applying to the prestigious Queen’s College:
“Tytus taught me biology and really pushed for me to apply to Oxford – supporting me with the interviews and more.
“One of the things I’ll also remember from my time at Burnley College is becoming a Student Governor, representing my peers.”
Abigail Geary’s parents Zoe and Paul said:
“She’s worked really hard and dedicated herself to her studies. She’s always loved learning – soaking in as much as she can in life.
“She’s really ambitious and pushes herself. I couldn’t be more proud.
“It was when we travelled down to the Queen’s College in Oxford and she met the students she realised it wasn’t out of reach for her.
“The support she’s had from Burnley College has been exceptional.”
Eleanor Bottomley, 18, from Burnley, a former student at Shuttleworth College secured her T Level in Design, Surveying and Planning for Construction – putting her one step closer to fulfilling her dream to become an architect:
“I’m now heading to the University of Salford to read Architecture.
“One of my lasting memories of Burnley College is the great friends I’ve made during my time here.”
