Yesterday saw students up and down the country braving the nerve-racking situation of opening up those A-level result letters and finding out how they’d done.

In the South East it is likely that most were happy as results soared above the national average. It is estimated around 30% achieved A grades. However, despite the increased pass rates and the increase in A grades in the region, nationally only 3% achieved 3 A’s or more.

Discussion on A-level results inevitably focuses on the debate as to whether or not they are getting easier. For those taking them this is, for the most part, largely irrelevant with plenty riding on the outcomes of two year’s hard work.

Have your say...
