The county's A-level students are celebrating today after achieving some fantastic exam results.
The provisional A-level results for Herefordshire's maintained schools and academies with sixth forms have demonstrated the talent of the county's young people. The overall A* - E pass rate was 98.9% which was higher than the 97.6% national average. The percentage of students in Herefordshire achieving the top grades of A* and A was 24%.
Councillor Elissa Swinglehurst, Herefordshire Council's Cabinet Member for Young People and Children's Wellbeing, said: "I'm delighted with this year's fantastic A-level results. This ongoing success is testimony to the outstanding work of our students and the high quality of teaching in our county's schools.
"I wish all our young people the best of luck in their future endeavours, whether they're off to university, about to start an apprenticeship or heading into the world of employment."
