Students receive A-Level results in parts of the UK

Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland woke up to their A-Level results this morning.

More than a quarter achieved As and A Stars, slightly up on last year, and still higher than the levels seen in 2019, before exams were disrupted by Covid.

But the overall pass rate has seen a small fall.

For more than 425-thousand school pupils, it means the offer of a place at college or university.
