HAIR and beauty students are celebrating after achieving a 100 per cent pass rate.
Students at the Academy of
Hair and Beauty in Norton took exams to test a range of skills, including hairdressing, barbering, beauty therapy and make-up artistry.
Sixty-seven per cent of students achieved a merit of distinction overall, with the remaining 33 per cent achieving a pass rate.
Many of the students also passed a functional skills qualification in English and maths at level one or two.
A group of Year 11 students from Lady Lumley’s School in Pickering passed the pre-16 qualification with 60 per cent achieving a merit overall.
The Academy provides City & Guilds Apprenticeships and has a government contract to provide traineeships for young people.
Lindsay Burr, Academy director, said: “Congratulations to all our hard-working students.
“A massive thank you goes to employers across the region
who provide valuable work experience and apprenticeship opportunities.
“These results are an absolute credit to our fantastic team.”
