Ryddings Business and Enterprise School, in Haworth Street, Oswaldtwistle has had another great year exceeding last years fantastic results.

Just a week after the borough's A-level passes saw Trafford top the North West table with some of the country's best results, it has kept up the standard with a knockout set of GCSE grades.

The council has praised young people across the borough for achieving the best GCSE results ever.

Students at the college, which has 282 GCSE pupils, smashed last year’s record with 47 per cent achieving five or more A*-C grades including English and maths, an improvement of nine per cent.

Annie Yaseen, 16, got seven A grades, one B, one C and a distinction in her ICT diploma – the equivalent of four GCSEs – at Ashton’s New Charter Academy.
