A budding criminologist and an aspiring wildlife vet are delighted after getting through their GCSEs.

Sara Inssali, who attended St Catherine's Academy, achieved one nine, two sixes, a four, seven, and five.

She is now set to go to The Sixth Form Bolton to study criminology, sociology and English literature.

Sara said: “I want to go on and do criminal law at university after college so I can be a solicitor.

“I feel like everybody should get a chance to speak their mind, and a lot of people are put into prison very unfairly.

“I’ve always been an advocate for equality.”

Logan Parden-Bell, who also attended the same school, achieved five grade sevens, three grade eights, and a grade five.

He now wants to put his love for animals into a career as he gets ready for his A levels at Bury College.

Logan said: “I really enjoy science and want to work with animals.

“I have always wanted to work with animals since I was very young, and loved seeing them when I went to the zoo.

“I want to be a wildlife veterinarian to help animals in need and animals that wouldn’t get help like normal animals would, like ones that are being poached so I can make them safe.”

A spokesperson for Bolton St Catherine's Academy said: "Huge congratulations to all our students collecting results today.

"We are absolutely delighted with their results.

“The resilience they have showed in the face of such a disrupted school experience over the last few years mean these results are a credit to their determination and perseverance.

"Our results continue to build on the best set of results in the school’s history last year.

"With the grading system returning to that of 2019 our results in 2023 are significantly higher than 2019.

"The students should be so proud of themselves, their belief in themselves and how well they have worked with our amazing staff team to achieve a really great set of results.

"We wish them all the very best as they embark on the next stage of their journey."
