STUDENTS across the Tyne Valley have been celebrating their 'amazing' A-Level results.
Yesterday (August 14), students across the country were informed of their AS-level, A-level, T-Level, and BTEC results; a key milestone as they prepare to take their next steps in adulthood.
For some, travelling has taken precedence; others are preparing for work, whilst many are gearing up for further education, mostly in the form of university or college.
Northumberland County Councillor Guy Renner-Thompson, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Inspiring Young People, congratulated students in Northumberland, before saying that everyone should be 'very proud' of the grades they’ve achieved.
"Today is an exciting milestone in their education journey as they move forward to take up new opportunities, and I wish all students the best of luck for the future," Guy said.
"I would also like to thank Northumberland’s brilliant staff in schools and colleges for their hard work and dedication to making sure all our young people reach their full potential."
Queen Elizabeth High School (QEHS), Hexham, said that they are 'delighted' to report some 'outstanding achievements' by its students in their A levels and equivalent qualifications this summer.
Over two-thirds of grades were A*-B (or equivalent), said the school, with 90 per cent of students achieving A*-C grades (or equivalent) and 100% of students achieving a pass or above in vocational qualifications.
“We are proud of our students and staff at QEHS," said Neil Seaton, head of school.
"We're really happy that our students have done so well and are progressing so successfully beyond school."
Prudhoe Community High School headteacher Annmarie Moore said that despite an 'incredibly challenging year', which has seen the closure of the school site, students have still managed to achieve 'amazing results.'
Prudhoe reported that 37 per cent of all grades were grade A*/A/Distinction/Distinction*, with 26 per cent of all A Level grades at A*/A. 50 per cent of grades were grade B/Merit and above and 44 per cent of A Level grades were grade B and above.
"These are incredible results and reflect the resilience and commitment from our students," said Mrs Moore.
"We are so grateful for the support of our parents and carers, the community and our amazing staff throughout the last six months. What a year!"
A spokesperson for Haydon Bridge High School said: "Congratulations to all our students receiving their A Level results today.
"We have a large number of very happy young people about to embark on their next exciting journey. We wish them well."
Stefan McElwee, headteacher of Ponteland High School, has said the school is 'very pleased' to report 'outstanding achievements' by students in their A-levels and equivalent qualifications this summer.
"Ten percent of our Year 13 students have achieved a clean sweep of grades awarded at A* and or A, which is a phenomenal achievement; they can all now look forward to attending their courses at prestigious universities across the UK."
