South Cheshire College is celebrating after announcing its second best ever set of A level results.
Crewe and Nantwich students at the institution celebrated an overall A level pass rate of 99.6%.
Out of 905 A level entries this year, 77% of passes were achieved at grades A*, A, B and C.
These latest results were only topped in 2007, when the college enjoyed a 99.8% overall pass rate.
Many students are now looking forward to starting Higher Education courses at universities around the UK.
Among them are Jonny Mainwaring and Jennifer Bellamy, who are heading to Oxford and Cambridge Universities respectively.
Jonny, 18, of Nantwich, celebrated an A* A level in Physics and A grades in Chemistry and Maths.
He is starting a degree in Material Science and Engineering at Oxford.
The former Brine Leas High School pupil said: “I was hoping to do well and I’m very pleased with my grades.
“I’ve really enjoyed the combination of subjects I’ve studied at A-Level and the whole college experience. I’m really looking forward to Oxford.”
Jennifer achieved three A* grades in Chemistry, Biology and Maths.
The former Madeley High School pupil is on her way to Cambridge University to study a six-year course in Medicine.
The 18-year-old, of Betley, said: “It has been hard work but these grades have made it all worth it.
“I knew I was on track to do well because I got good grades in many of my course modules but these final results are fantastic. I can’t wait for university now.”
In AS levels, the college achieved an overall pass rate of 90% out of 1,451 entries.
Peter Swift, South Cheshire College Principal, said: “I’m delighted for all the students who have achieved such outstanding grades and this has been another excellent year with a brilliant overall pass rate.
“The results highlight the fantastic teaching and learning that takes place here and we wish students all the best as they progress to university or their chosen career.”
A pass rate of over 99% just shows that the college is being too selective in who it puts in for exams. Either that or the exams have become ridiculously easy, but I suspect the former is the real reason. What is the percentage of passes compared to numbers enrolling on A level courses? That would be a better indicator of how good the college is.
