Students at The Academy of St Nicholas and All Saints Sixth Form College in Garston have been celebrating their achievements after receiving their GCSE, A-level and BTEC results this summer. 

Across two memorable results days, students came together with families, friends and staff to celebrate their hard work and look ahead to exciting next steps, from sixth form and university to apprenticeships, further education and employment. 

Part of All Saints Multi Academy Trust, The Academy of St Nicholas and All Saints Sixth Form College have continued to build on recent 

improvements, with this summer bringing strong individual achievements and positive outcomes across a wide range of subjects. 

Sixth form students received their A-level and BTEC results on Thursday, 13 August, with the college once again celebrating improved examination outcomes. 

English, mathematics, computer science, criminology, business, sport and IT all recorded further improvements, reflecting the dedication, hard work and resilience of students alongside the commitment and expertise of staff. 

Students are now progressing to a wide variety of destinations, including Pacifique Ruhana and Roman Joseph, who have both been accepted by the University of Liverpool to study computer science, while Sahand Mohammed has secured a place at Liverpool John Moores University to study pharmacy. 

Ranudi Hettiarachchi will also begin an exciting new chapter after accepting a place at the University of Greenwich to study law.

 
Mrs Paige Jones, head of sixth form, said: “One of the strengths of our sixth form is the diverse range of opportunities our students go on to pursue. Whether that’s higher education, an apprenticeship or employment, they leave us ready to embrace the next stage of their lives.” 

The celebrations continued on Thursday, 20 August, when Year 11 students returned to The Academy of St Nicholas to collect their GCSE and BTEC results. 

This year saw outstanding individual and subject successes, with particularly strong results in English language and English literature, art and design, performing arts, sport, construction and iMedia. Many students also exceeded expectations in mathematics and Spanish. The results continue a positive three-year improvement for the academy. 

Among those celebrating was Moaseeb Ahmed, who achieved grade 8 or higher in more than five subjects, including mathematics, English language, English literature, combined science and iMedia. He will continue his studies at All Saints Sixth Form College from September. 

​

Abisola Adeleke achieved two exceptional grade 9s in English language and English literature and will also remain on campus, joining All Saints Sixth Form College for her Level 3 studies. 

Fellow student Sky Rose Ainsworth achieved grade 8 or above in five subjects, including English language, mathematics, science, religious studies and history. 

Many more Year 11 students will continue their education at All Saints Sixth Form College, while others are progressing to colleges, apprenticeships and employment. 

Mr Gary Lloyd, headteacher of The Academy of St Nicholas, said: “I would like to congratulate every one of our students on their achievements. They should be incredibly proud of everything they have accomplished during their time at The Academy of St Nicholas and All Saints Sixth Form College. 

“Results day is about much more than grades. It is about recognising the progress our students have made, the challenges they have overcome and the young people they have become. It has been a privilege to watch them grow.”

Mr Lloyd added: “We are delighted to see so many of our Year 11 students continuing their education at All Saints Sixth Form College, while others move on to college, apprenticeships and employment. For our sixth form students, it has been a pleasure to see them grow in confidence during their time with us. They have worked hard to reach this point, and their results are a reflection of their determination and the support they have received from staff, families and friends.” 

The Academy of St Nicholas will give prospective students and their families the opportunity to find out more about the academy and experience life there first-hand at its open evening on Thursday, 1 October, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.
