THERE WERE plenty of success stories as students at Oldham’s Blue Coat School collected their A-Level results.
Across the cohort, 30 per cent of all grades were awarded at A*/A and 60 per cent at A*-B.
And there were several individual tales that summed up the dedication behind the grades.
Emily Hohmann achieved A*’s in Biology, Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths and will now study medicine at Oxford.
Haider Ullah Hassan achieved A*s in Biology, Chemistry and Maths and will be studying Medicine at King’s College, London.
Ben Watkinson achieved A*s in Computer Science, Maths, Further Maths and Physics and is off to Warwick to study Computer Science.
Issac Cheung achieved A*s in Computer Science, Maths and Physics and will study Physics and Astronomy at Durham.
Ameya Krishna, who is heading to Liverpool University, will join Emily in studying medicine.
She said: “Without the teachers at Blue Coat and the amount of support and confidence they have given me, I could not be in the position that I am in now.
“I am forever grateful.”
Scarlett Hill spent much of her time at sixth form juggling her studies alongside training and playing football for Manchester United.
She achieved a Distinction* in PE, A in Biology and B in Psychology – and has just signed a professional contract for next season.
Headteacher Rob Higgins said: “We are absolutely delighted by the achievements of our young people and incredibly proud of every single one of them.
“As a cohort, they’ve achieved incredible levels of success and the vast majority of them are now off to study a wide variety of subjects at universities, with many securing places on the most sought-after courses at the most prestigious universities across the country.
“In addition to this, many of our students have secured places on highly competitive degree apprenticeships, drawing on the strong relationships The Blue Coat School Sixth Form has with local, regional and national businesses.
Over the last two years, our students have worked incredibly hard and deserve all the achievements they have earned.
“They have been incredibly well supported by the staff at The Blue Coat School Sixth Form who have ensured they have received the highest standards of teaching and pastoral support that has enabled them to fulfil their potential.
“They have also been well supported by their families who have been there to offer support and encouragement throughout the examination period.
“On behalf of the class of 2025/26, I would like to extend my thanks to the staff at the school and to all the parents/carers who have worked together to ensure that all students have manged to experience success, whatever that may look like for them as the unique individuals they are.
