Uxbridge College students and staff were celebrating on Thursday 16th August when A level results arrived - showing an 8% increase in the pass rate at grades A-C.
Laraine Smith, Principal, said: "We can now all breathe a huge sigh of relief - no matter how hard everyone works, it is still really stressful waiting for the results.
"We are delighted to see the 8% improvement at grades A-C, and 100% pass rate in 13 of the 18 subjects sat at A level.
"Some of those who take A levels here had a shaky start at school, or challenges with their language skills, but found they have blossomed in the College environment.
"We might not compare to some of the borough's sixth forms in the league tables, but the distance travelled for so many of our students is huge, and their achievements can be incredible.
"A lot of our students are now going on to university or Higher Education courses, or taking up the jobs they wanted as a result of their successes at Uxbridge College.
"All our students and staff should be celebrating - they deserve it."
