SUCCESS was on the timetable for students in Solihull as they eagerly waited to find out their A-Level results.
Students across the borough travelled back to their schools or sixth forms today to see if they got the grades needed to go to university, earn an apprenticeship or get their dream job.
This summer has seen a return to pre-pandemic grading in England, with some protection put in place to recognise any disruption students have faced due to Covid.
Solihull Sixth Form College
Students at Solihull Sixth Form College are celebrating an excellent set of A level, BTEC and CACHE results this year, with an impressive 98 per cent pass rate across all courses.
At A Level, 45 per cent of grades being A* – B, 100 per cent of CACHE students passed, while 99.9 per cent of BTEC learners did likewise.
Among the many successes again this year is Estella Hope, who joined Solihull Sixth Form College from Cockshut Hill School who has secured a place at the University of Cambridge to study Theology having achieved an A* and two A grades in her A levels.
