We are delighted to announce that the Times league tables place Carmel College as:

  • The top sixth form college in the North West of England

  • In the top 4 sixth form colleges in the country

(The Times % A*-A grades 15/08/25)

This year, Carmel students achieved a 99.6% Level 3 pass rate, with 68% of grades in the top tier (A*-B / Dist*-Dist) and 89.4% of grades rated high (A*-C / Dist*-Merit) – a true reflection of their dedication and hard work.

Principal Janet Gater said,

“We are thrilled with the outstanding results our students have achieved today and could not be prouder of every one of them. Their hard work, determination, and resilience have been inspiring, and we are equally grateful to our dedicated staff, whose commitment and encouragement have been key to this success. It has been a privilege to support our young people in reaching their goals, whether that means moving on to university, a degree apprenticeship, or starting work. Our students have already made an exceptional contribution to life at Carmel College, and we are excited to see the positive impact they will go on to make in the wider community.”

The day also highlighted some extraordinary individual successes, with students gaining offers at prestigious universities including Oxford and Cambridge:

  • Lydia Baldwin – Geography, Mansfield College, Oxford

  • Adam Hale – Biochemistry, St Catherine’s College, Oxford

  • Dion Josh – Chemistry, St John’s College, Oxford
