A-level results for adult students in Milton Keynes have thrilled both students and staff of the Council's Adult Continuing Education (ACE) service.

There were A grades in Film Studies, Law, English Literature, French, Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology, Spanish, Italian and Chinese and ALL the Russian results were As.

One 24 year-old student took three A level courses and gained an A in Law and Bs in English Literature and Classical Civilisation at AS level.

18 year-old Lucia Hodgson's B in Film Studies helps her on her way to a Film Studies degree course at the University of London.

A blind student, who took his GCSE Italian with ACE in 2004, gained a grade C at AS level this year.

Liberal Democrat cabinet member for lifelong learning, Euan Henderson said: "The ACE service has come up trumps once again. We are delighted by this performance - it shows that excellent educational opportunities are available in Milton Keynes for people of all ages.

"These results are brilliant, especially when you consider that all our students are part-time. Most of them came to ACE because they could fit in studies with us around all kinds of other demands on their time. I am thrilled for the students and their families, and proud of our tutors and support staff."
