With A-level results day exactly a week away, we’ve take a look at the Lancashire schools and colleges that fared best last time around.

A-level results day is on Thursday, August 13 this year and as the date draws closer, students and their families across Lancashire are surely starting to feel a mix of trepidation and excitEment.

Whilst each year group is of course different to the next, you may be interested to know which schools and colleges across our county fared best during the last A-level results day.

The Department for Education published its final Progress 8 scores for colleges and secondary schools across Lancashire for the 2024/2025 academic year back in March 2026.

These figures tell you how much progress students who studied A levels at a school or college made between the end of key stage 4 and the end of their A level studies, compared to similar students across England.

These scores are also known as 'value added' scores.
