Clodagh Freeston, Head of Education Services said: “Congratulations to all students receiving their A Level results today. We recognise the hard work and determination that has brought you to this important milestone. This year’s results are broadly in line with last year with a slight increase in the percentage of students achieving an A* or A grade. We encourage all students to visit the Southampton City Council website to explore the range of options available as you plan your next steps. Congratulations again, and best wishes for your future.”

Councillor Amanda Barnes-Andrews, Cabinet Member for Children and Learning said: “As a parent I know that awaiting exam results is a nerve-wracking experience. I hope every young person opening an envelope this morning gets the results they hoped for and can be excited about the next steps, be these in education or work. For those whose results were not as predicted, there are a range of options available to explore. We have a fantastic Post 16 Options team who can discuss next steps with you.”
