It was a pleasure to celebrate with our Year 13 leavers in 2024, who achieved outstanding results at Emmanuel College. Notably, 34.1% of A-Level grades were A*/A and 68.5% of grades were A*-B. Nearly half of the cohort (47.4%) achieved the points equivalent of AAB or above, highlighting the college’s commitment to academic excellence. Almost all students are following an exciting path in their chosen courses, apprenticeships or jobs with many students taking up places at Russell Group universities.
Our GCSE students in 2024 received equally impressive results which once again placed the College amongst the very best performing state schools in the north of England, with a third of the year group achieving an average grade 7. Overall, these outstanding results represent the excellence we experience every day at Emmanuel and the incredible commitment that our students and staff demonstrate to achieving personal best.

Schools are not required to publish exam and assessment results from academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 as these have not been published as performance measures by the Secretary of State. Given the uneven impact of the pandemic on school and college performance data, the government has advised you should not make direct comparisons between the performance data for one school or college and another, or to data from previous years.
