Well done to our A-Level and BTEC 2025 cohort!

Students at St Margaret Ward Catholic Academy’s Trinity Sixth Form are celebrating their A-Level results today with most of them achieving their first choice university placement.

It’s been another exceptional year of results with another increase in the number of students achieving A* or A and 53% of BTEC students receiving a Distinction or Distinction*.

This year’s cohort will be venturing off all over the country to pursue their education and career ambitions whilst three students will be studying medicine at Keele University.

Principal Dominic McKenna said: “We’re really proud of the students and their excellent results. Being offered their first choice university is excellent and to see our A and A* results grow again this year is very rewarding for myself and teaching staff.

“We work really hard with the students so they can realise their ambitions and we’re excited to see where it takes them in the future.”

Special mentions go to Mikael Kifle who received an A* in both geography and mathematics and an A in physics. He’ll be studying product engineering at Loughborough University in September.

And the three Keele medical students:

• Hamaayil Kaleem for achieving A* in biology, A in chemistry and B in mathematics.
• Haniya Bint-Abdus who got straight As in biology, chemistry and psychology, to study pharmacy.
• And Liszeth Willfredo Mansfield who achieved A in biology, C in chemistry and B in mathematics.

Students will be embarking on a wide range of courses from medicine, law, accountancy, finance, education, biomedical, science, geography, journalism, nursing, social work, paramedic science, fine art, computer science, biomedical science, pharmacy and psychology.
