Riverside College Celebrates Fantastic Results as Students Progress to Top Universities and Careers

There was excitement and celebration across campus at Riverside College, as the Class of 2026 achieved exceptional exam results, securing places at universities, apprenticeships and careers.

The college achieved outstanding results across a range of sector-focused qualifications. Level 3 BTEC programmes achieved a 99% pass rate, with 79% of students securing Distinction* / Distinction grades. Students studying T Levels celebrated a 100% pass rate, with 95% achieving high grades.

These results have enabled many of our students to secure places at their first-choice universities, including the University of Sheffield, The University of Manchester, University of Chester, Manchester Met, Liverpool Hope University, Liverpool John Moores University and Edge Hill University. In addition, students have successfully gained apprenticeships with leading organisations.

Mary Murphy OBE, College Principal, said, “Today is a day of immense pride for our entire college community and Halton. Our students have achieved outstanding results that reflect their hard work, determination and ambition.”

“The exceptional vocational achievements and progression to prestigious universities across the UK and internationally are a testament to the commitment of both our students and staff.”
“We congratulate every student on their success and look forward to seeing them continue to achieve great things as they embark on the next stage of their journey.”
