● WIDNES Vikings are proud to announce that all six of their second year academy students have been awarded a Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma in Sport.
The course is delivered in partnership with Saints Peter And Paul Sixth Form College, and has seen Tyler Jones secure a place at Liverpool John Moores University, starting this month to study sport and exercise science.
Team mates, Jake Burns, Jayden Hatton, Ben Davies, Lewis Else and Calum O’Neil also picked up their BTEC awards, ensuring that the course achieved an overall 100% pass rate.

All 12 first year academy students also passed their first year with flying colours, highlighting the success of the course which aims to ensure they are set for the next stage of their career.
Academy education manager, Kurtis Marsh, said: “I’m extremely proud of the lads for getting the results they deserved.
“All six of our second year academy students have put the effort in throughout the entirety of the course and it has all paid off today.
“It’s great to see Tyler Jones secure his place at Liverpool John Moores University, and I’m sure he will continue his academic success over the next three years.
“I’d like to congratulate our 12 first year academy students too, who all passed their first year.
