Harriet, who scored two A*s and an A, is going to Trinity College to read classics, and Megan, who achieved three A*s, is off to Girton to read modern and medieval languages.
“I can’t quite believe it. I’ve been feeling really nervous,” said Harriet.
And Megan, who has ambitions to become an interpreter, added: “I’m really happy about my results and looking forward to going to Cambridge.”
Their headteacher, Linda Magrath, said: “We are extremely proud of the achievements of all our students.
“These results are very well deserved – our students have worked so hard and we wish them the best of luck as they head off to the next stage of their lives.
“We are driven to provide young people with the best possible start in life. At the heart of this is our belief that for so many years there hasn’t been a level playing field for students who are educated in the state sector. As Cheadle Hulme High School shows, that ‘norm’ is being challenged every day.”
