“We have Students progressing to The University of Cambridge to read Computer Science, The University of St Andrews to read Medicine, The University of Edinburgh to read Philosophy and Theology and so many more.
“To see our Students, their families, their friends and their peers celebrating each other’s success today is so heartwarming.
“We talk about our Students being ‘Members of the Burnley College Family’ and today is the day when we realise what how powerful that is.
“Now of course, results are to be celebrated, particularly ones as spectacular as we’ve seen today, however we are also celebrating our Students hard work, dedication, ambition and achievements.
“Combined with our wide-ranging enrichment programme, empowering our learners with a suite of skills to serve them for their entire lives, these results are a stepping stone for our exceptional students to progress to the best Universities in the UK and to embark upon exciting new careers where they will become the bold and innovative leaders of the future.
Our learners have proved that whatever challenges the world puts in front of them, with the right support, advice and guidance, they are a truly resilient generation who continue to achieve at the highest levels.
