A-level and BTEC success at St Francis Xavier’s College

St Francis Xavier’s College (SFX) is celebrating a successful A-level results day.

The class of 2017 have worked extremely hard over the past two years to achieve amazing results.

The vast majority of students secured places at the university of their choice.

They will now go on to study at leading universities across the country, such as Kings College, Durham, Lancaster and our home Universities; The University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moore’s University and Liverpool Hope University, plus apprenticeships, training and work options also being undertaken.

Among those celebrating their A-level results were David Comerford , who achieved A*A*A and will be studying history at Lancaster University, Thomas Howard, who will be studying classics at Kings College, London, Joseph Mcgowan who gained a perfect three Distinction* at BTEC, Michael Goodwin, who achieved ABB and is going to study pharmacy at Liverpool John Moore’s University, Ellie Barlow, who is going to study chemistry at Liverpool University, with A*BC, and Callum Bissett, who worked incredibly hard and achieved a grade A, D and Distinction* at BTEC to go on to study architecture at The University of Liverpool.
