Principal Kathryn Podmore said: “The staff and I are absolutely thrilled with the excellent results secured by our students. The radical changes made to the structure of A Levels and AS exams this year meant that many people predicted poor results across the board in 2014. We are delighted that results at The Sixth Form College have improved for the 8th consecutive year – an outstanding achievement for the college. Our A Level results demonstrate that The Birkenhead Sixth Form College is a centre of academic excellence which continues to support students to help them exceed expectations and achieve higher grades than they predicted when they join us.” ### Results Day 2014 [ ![](https://files.schudio.com/birkenhead/imagecache/480x480s/gallery/DSC_0165.JPG)
