Big Day for Cumbria as A Level results revealed
Today students across Cumbria received their A Level results.
Exam results day is always a day of excitement, high emotions and mixed feelings depending upon individual results.
It is also a day to acknowledge the great work of Cumbria’s students, as well as all the excellent work by head teachers, teachers, schools and parents and a chance for students to look ahead and focus on the opportunities ahead of them - be that Further Education, Higher Education, Employment and/or Training.
All students and schools are to be congratulated for their exceptional efforts in what has been a unique and very challenging last few years for everyone.
Councillor Sue Sanderson, Cumbria County Council's Cabinet Member for Schools and Learning, said:
“Today is a day for celebration and although it will also be filled with mixed emotions for many I want to take this opportunity to congratulate our young people on all their hard work.
"I also want to say thank you to all the head teachers, teachers, parents and carers for all their support to our young people over the last few months. We must remember today is about people, it is about the future of our young people and I am immensely proud of everyone’s efforts.
“Whatever your results it is now time for you to focus on the future and the opportunities that lie ahead.”
If any student is unhappy with their A or AS level grade, they will also have the opportunity to sit an exam in the autumn, or, in certain circumstances, to appeal the grade through their school or college.
