A-level and GCSE results

Students across Herefordshire are set to receive their A-level and National Level 3 Qualification results today.

GCSE results will be available to pupils on Thursday 25 August. 

Schools and colleges have made their own arrangements for releasing the results and students have been provided with these details.

Councillor Diana Toynbee, Herefordshire Council Cabinet Member for Children’s and Family Services, and Young People’s Attainment, said:

“Huge congratulations to all students on their efforts and grades in their A-levels. It’s been a tough two years, and I know how much effort it’s been to get to today's results.

“Heartfelt thanks to Herefordshire’s teachers and all who work in our schools and colleges for your dedication to making sure students progress onto further education or employment.

“We wish our young people well in the next stage of life, whether in work or continuing in education. Opportunities are expanding for young people here in Herefordshire, and I hope many of them will stay with us in the county.”
