Rochdale students at Bury College secure university places

Bury College has congratulated students who have successfully secured places at universities throughout the country after A-level results were announced last week (Thursday 13 August).

The college has said that it will be supporting students affected by changes in their expected grades and only when all grades have been finalised will the college be able to provide an accurate picture of the results and achievements of its students.

Charlie Deane, Bury College principal and chief executive said: “Bury College is proud of all its students who have positively engaged in their learning and continued to work hard during this unprecedented year. Hundreds of learners will now be progressing onto university or employment due to the commitment they have shown in their studies and from the dedicated support they have received from our staff.  

"There is uncertainty nationally regarding grades and many changes are currently taking place. During this period, the college will be focussing on supporting its students and helping them receive the results and progression opportunities that reflect their abilities. Bury College will release further details when all grades have been finalised to provide an accurate picture of the results and achievements of its students. 

“On behalf of the Bury College Corporation and all our staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our students every success on a university course or in their chosen career.”
