Students enjoyed the red carpet treatment on results day
There was plenty to celebrate at Bolton College on A-level day as students enjoyed the red carpet treatment.
Hundreds turned up to collect their Level 3 results for T-Levels, BTECs, UAL qualifications, and T Level Year 1 programmes.
The college transformed its onsite restaurant, Signature - usually open to the public during term time - into a vibrant hub for the day.
A red carpet was rolled out for students as they got ready to receive their results as well as tokens for a complimentary cupcake, ice cream, and entry into a raffle with a variety of prizes on offer.

Liam Sloan, Principal of Bolton College, said on the day: 'Today is one of the most important and uplifting days in the academic year - the moment when our learners receive the results they have worked so hard to achieve.
"T Levels, BTECs and UAL qualifications lead to high-level careers, university study, and a wealth of future opportunities. These pathways open doors, shape futures, and require dedication, resilience, and determination to succeed.
"Being here with our learners as they open their results is an honour. The pride, relief, and even a few happy tears say it all - a powerful reflection of their hard work and the dedication of the Bolton College team.
"Our learners leave us truly work ready, world ready and future ready, and I wish each and every one of them every success as they take the next step - whether that's university, an apprenticeship, or beginning their professional career."
