Students across Cheshire East have been celebrating 'wonderful' A-level results.

Across the borough, pupils managed a provisional pass rate of 98%, above the national average of 97.5%

Results released on Thursday morning (August 14) showed 23.7% in the area achieving grades A* to A and 49.3% achieving an A* to B grade.

 Councillor Laura Crane, chair of Cheshire East's children and families committee, said: "We are delighted to see such wonderful A-level results from across the borough – it's great to see consistent strong levels of performance from our young people.

 "These results demonstrate not only the hard work of students, but their families, our teachers, school and local authority support staff, who have worked tirelessly to help maintain high standards of education, while supporting the mental wellbeing of students.

"This collective effort means many will now be proceeding to follow their ambitions to either join their university of choice and follow their career goals, or by taking their first steps into the workplace or starting an apprenticeship.

"I am really proud of our students' achievements and wish them the best of luck for the future.

"Now is the time to take a well-earned break, celebrate the remainder of the summer and to rejoice with their achievements with family and friends."
