Blackpool Sixth Form College is shining a light on some of its brightest stars this A level/BTEC level 3 results day.

This year’s A Level and vocational qualification results highlight the remarkable dedication of students says Blackpool Sixth Form College and you can read all about their results here.
Whilst the college is proud of all it’s students, it wanted to draw particular attention to some superstars in its cohort.
Amongst the many students celebrating exceptional achievement today is Isabella Beatton.
Isabella secured A* grades in A Level English Literature and Psychology and an A in Ancient History.
She will now progress to Oxford University to read ancient history and classical archaeology.
Isabella explained that she had never really considered applying to Oxford before she joined the college.
She told us: “Oxford University had always seemed like this impossible goal - for the geniuses and the rich kids that go to Eton - so I never allowed myself to get my hopes up. It was when my amazing teacher, Peter Wright, told me how much he believed in me that I realised I could apply. After knowing it would be possible, I began researching about the university and I fell in love with Oxford as a whole as well as my college.”
Daniel Crompton then gained A* grades in A Level Electronics and Computer Science along with an A grade Graphic Design.
He will now progress to a degree in computer science at Lancaster University.
Musician Tay Frearson gained a Triple Distinction Star in BTEC Level 3 Music and will now progress to Salford University to study popular music and recording.
Jay Fiske excelled in BTEC Level 3 Uniformed Protective Services and will now begin a degree in educational psychology at Edge Hill University.
Elsewhere, Nathaniel Wright obtained A* grades in A Level Maths and Physics and an A in Further Mathematics.
This means he has secured his place to read engineering at Cambridge University.
Talented artist Kenzie Nodwell alsoachieved an amazing clean sweep of A* grades in three separate A Level art subjects - fine art, photography and graphic design. She will now continue her art education at the University of Lancashire with a degree in illustration.
A notable proportion of Blackpool Sixth students are using their excellent grades to secure sought-after apprenticeship programmes.
This year this includes Josh Perry, who obtained an A in A Level Business Studies, a B in Economics and a B in Geography. Josh will now start an apprenticeship with United Utilities.
