Students at Wrenn School in Wellingborough receive their A-level results.

Students at Wrenn School in Wellingborough have got their their A Level results after taking their first formal examsHundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have received their A-level results. For many, they are the first formal exams they had taken, because GCSEs did not go ahead as normal during the pandemic.

She says she felt there was "extra pressure" because the grade boundaries were reverting to pre-pandemic levels, but she also wanted to get into a top university for her subject.

Layla Aljabbar says she "went through a bunch of different emotions" on seeing her results but is "happy with the grades" that she got. "It was just quite stressful and I think they could have been a bit nicer and given us a bit of leeway."Head of sixth form, Natasha Thomas-Francis, says any disappointed students should remember that "this is just a just a moment in time""This is two years in the making and the students have worked so hard and they've been so determined despite all the challenges of the pandemic," she says.
