Meet some of the many students who got the results they were hoping for...
Joshua Allanigue
A Levels in Psychology (A), Sociology (A), Law (A) and Politics (A).
Joshua is now heading to University College London (UCL) to study Law.
"I'm so overwhelmed with these results. I'd like to thank my brilliant teachers; Penelope, Agnes, Anne, Peter and George. They have helped me so much and given so much of their time. The College has a great educational environment and is an excellent place to study A Levels."
Vikta Cistiakovaite
A Levels in Pschology (A), English (B) and Law (A).
Vikta is going to study Law at Kings College University. She would like to become a lawyer in either Contract or Moral Law.
"I'd like to study Law, probably because I enjoy arguing and I think it's an attractive and exciting career to have. I'd like to thank Lambeth College for the help it has given me in getting this far. The Clapham Centre is a wonderful place to study, there is a good mix of young people and adults and it has a friendly feel to it. The teachers are fabulous and I could not have achieved these results without them."
Kirsty Gordon and Jac Hardyman
Both studied AS Level Human Biology (Kirsty achieved grade A).
Kirsty and Jac are friends from the same evening class in Human Biology. They both took the course in order to fulfill their ambition of changing careers. Kirsty, who currently works as a literary agent, would like to become a midwife. Jac, who was an occupational therapy assistant, is now going to the University of East London to study Pedometry.
Said Kirsty: "The teachers here are very organised and genuinely care about the students. Studying again has been very difficult after being out of the educational environment for so long but the College is very welcoming and the teachers so helpful".
Hauwa Muktari
A Levels in Maths (B), English Literature (B) and Psychology (B).
Hauwa is destined for Nottingham University to study Mathematics.
"My teacher Gill has lead me to fall in love with maths. I also think I'm a bit of a natural in the subject. The teachers here really pushed me to work hard and do well. Lola encouraged me to use the library and study centre and I'm so glad she did. I was inspired to learn and now I have these great results. I'm so happy today."

Chris changed subjects last year which means that he has achieved his three grade As in just one year. He says: "I'd like to thank all of my teachers for the faith they had in me. This College has such a nice community environment and some great people amongst the staff and students".
Emeka said: "I'm happy with these results. I have got into university and things are looking good. I'll miss Lambeth College, it is a great place to learn and the staff here treat you with respect. They always put the students first."
Jackie Ansah
A Levels in Maths (C), Chemistry (D). GCSE English Language (C).

"I'm very pleased with my results and it means I can go to university. Lambeth College has been a good place to study and I will miss coming here. I enjoyed every bit of my time here. The teachers really help you out, especially if they feel you have fallen a bit behind with your work. Lambeth College is the best!"
