“The exceptional circumstances surrounding today’s A level results for England, Wales and Northern Ireland hide an important issue for the future linguistic capacity of the UK,” said Professor Neil Kenny FBA, British Academy Lead Fellow for Languages. Ofqual data shows 48.6% of students at independent schools received an A grade or above, compared to 21.8% of students at comprehensive schools.Private schools also increased the proportion of students achieving the top grades at a much faster rate than comprehensive schools.

Last year, the gap was 0.7 points.- The most popular subject this year was maths. It’s especially encouraging to see record numbers of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with a confirmed place at university, and an increase in applicants accepted on to their first choice.Universities and colleges have plans to welcome students on to their courses as safely as possible, which have been received well, as we’re seeing a similar proportion of placed applicants currently planning to defer as last year.The breakdown of A-level grades across the participating countries shows that Wales outperformed their English and Northern Irish counterparts in the highest (A*) grade category, but students in Northern Ireland did better at all other levels. UCAS opens its Clearing service every year, which allows people to make late applications for university places.

I’ve never ever got a C, I’m always As and Bs.“My school sent me my results and they also put the teacher-assessed and final mock grade on it as well as our final grade and for me, history read: Final mock grade: A; teacher assessment: A; final grade: C.”Ellie, who studied at the Appleton School in Benfleet and intends to appeal over the grade, said she had no idea why she had been given a C.“I honestly don’t know,” she said.
