William Hulme's Grammar School Students Set for University!

Students and staff at William Hulme’s Grammar School (WHGS) in Manchester are celebrating today after Sixth Formers received an excellent set of A Level results.

Students at the school have been awarded a raft of the highest A* and A grades and, in doing so, have secured places at their universities of choice, including a host of Russell Group institutions such as Imperial College London and the University of Manchester. Students will be going on to study a wide range of high-quality, competitive courses, from Aerospace Engineering to Computing and Mathematics.

Speaking of his success, Sijabuliso said:
