Cardinal Newman College is also the top sixth form college in the North West based on A-Level attainment, followed closely by Runshaw.
Newman deputy principal Paul Vaughan said: “We are thrilled to see that the Department for Education league tables have confirmed our position as the top sixth form college in the North West.
“As always, we believe that value added is the best measure of performance for both students and the college itself, but we are extremely proud that our students progress has also led to us topping the tables for attainment too.”
The secondary tables, postponed by the DfE, will be included in special LP supplement next Friday.
