There were lots of smiling faces when students opened their 'A' level and applied Level 3 results at Sandbach High School and Sixth Form College today (Thursday).

The school heaped praise on their Year 13 students for their "well-deserved success" in their A level and applied Level 3 results.

"We were delighted that seven students achieved exclusively A and A* grades or equivalent and seventeen students scored at least one A* or equivalent."

Maggie Chen, having returned to us for an additional year, has now successfully gained a place to study Natural Sciences at Cambridge University having now achieved five A* grades and one A grade, said the school.
