At Leigh Technology Academy 49 per cent of its A Level were awarded with an A to C grade.

Casey Simmons, 18, of Dartford, walked away with B and C in double Business Studies, C in English Literature and D in General Studies. She is now off to Leicester University, to study Law and Criminal Justice.
