Greenhead College students have been receiving their A Level results today following the unprecedented cancellation of this summer’s exams.

College Principal Simon Lett said:

“I’m very pleased that the hard work of our students over the course of their A Level studies has been rewarded with such good results. Clearly both staff and students were disappointed that students were unable to sit their exams as planned. However, this year’s calculated grades will help many of our students secure their first choice destination in higher education, training and employment. 

“Overall, the majority of our students appear to have received the grades we would have expected. However, we are seeing some instances where the grade awarded to a student is lower than both their teachers’ predicted grade and their mock exam results. In these cases we are working with students to ensure they can progress successfully to the next stage of their education and training.”

He added: “I’d like to thank parents and carers, and our superb staff for the dedicated support they have given our students throughout their studies, and wish our students the very best for the future.”

The College has a team of staff on hand today and into next week to offer its students careers advice and pastoral support both online and in person.
