*A-Levels*
Students reading exam results
We are delighted to see some fantastic results for A-level students in Cheshire East, who have once again achieved impressive results that are above the national average.
The borough’s students received their results this morning, showing that, collectively, they achieved a provisional pass rate of 98.4 per cent1, which is above the national average of 97.2 per cent.
The further breakdown of grades shows that the proportion of students achieving grades A* to A was 24.7 per cent and well over half (51.4 per cent) achieved an A* to B grade.
The results mean that many have secured the university place of their choice.
Following results day young people and their families can access local mental health and wellbeing support [
] on our website, or access useful guidance to help them to decide on next steps within their career on the jobs and skills section [
].
