A MEDIA student has been congratulated on his excellent exam results that put him among the top 10 in the country.

Matthew Duggan, 18, is currently in his second year at Widnes and Runcorn Sixth Form College and achieved high overall marks in GNVQ Media, Communication and Production, which were equivalent to 4 GCSE's at grade A standard.

He said: "I'm delighted with my results and would like to say a big thank you to the Media department at the college, as it would not have been possible without their teaching and support."

Matthew has now progressed onto the Level 3 OCR Extended National Diploma in Media and hopes to study the subject at University next year.
