Results day: A-level grades down on past two years but higher than pre-Covid
A-level students across the country have opened their results today, as the first cohort to sit exams since the coronavirus outbreak.

Figures from Ucas have shown that over 425,000 students have had university places confirmed, which is down 2 per cent on the same point last year, but is still the highest on record.
