We would like to congratulate all Birkdale students on their A level results. One in five students achieved all their grades at A*/A with 70% of the entries achieving A*/B grade.

With the government deciding that grades would return to pre-pandemic levels this year, we were delighted that 93% of our students achieved places at their chosen university.

Our students move on to a wide range of courses at some of the country’s most prestigious universities with 62% of students securing places at those in the Russell group.

Among this year’s notable achievements:

“On behalf of our entire Birkdale family, I send my congratulations to our students on their results. We have prepared them to be kind and considerate young people, well equipped for their life beyond Birkdale.

Whatever path they choose I know they are ready for their future studies, apprenticeships or work and will contribute positively to society with independence and confidence.”
