'I want to study acting and play Spiderman' - Blackpool Sixth Form students celebrate on A Levels Results day
“I’m going to London to study acting for screen at Central Film School - I’m very excited for that.”
A Blackpool Sixth Form College student has spoken of his excitement at achieving his A Level results as he prepares to pursue his dream of becoming an actor.
Archie Holroyd was celebrating on A Levels Results Day after receiving his Level 3 results, which mark the culmination of two years of hard work, determination and resilience for students at Blackpool Sixth.
“I studied graphic design, English literature, and drama studies - I got A, B, C! I’m so happy, so so happy; I got an unconditional offer for uni, so I didn't need [certain] results, but I’m so happy that the ones that I got were really good because I thought I was going to get a D in English but I got a C so I’m very happy with how it’s gone.
“I’ve got a gap year and then I’m going to London to study acting for screen at Central Film School - I’m very excited for that. That’s the dream - acting, that’s what I want to be in 15 years’ time, so I’m waiting for it! My ideal role? I want to be Cyclops from the X-Men or Spiderman! Obvious answers”
Archie’s results come as Blackpool Sixth celebrates another year of outstanding achievements, with students receiving their Level 3 results and looking ahead to their next steps in education, training and employment.
Among those also celebrating was Wilbur Wain, who was pleased to have exceeded expectations.
“I studied psychology, English literature, and musical theatre - I got an A*, a B, and a distinction [respectively] so I’m very happy, it’s better than I thought I’d get. Now I’m taking a gap year to gain some work experience then I’m moving to the University of York to study psychology.

“In terms of a long-term plan, there are a few options. I want to be a psychologist in some form and I either want to go into clinical psychology neuroscience, or I might take more of a research pathway.”
