Students across Stevenage, North Herts and Central Beds have been finding out their A-level fate today.

We’ve collated two galleries of pictures capturing the day.

Herts County Council’s David Williams, the cabinet member for education, is among those to lead the congratulations.

He said: “Congratulations to all Hertfordshire’s students who received their A-level results today.

“Whatever the outcome when those envelopes were opened, I’d like to reassure you and your parents that there are plenty of options available. Dedicated people will be on-hand to give you all the advice you need.

“Schools will have members of staff available to talk through your choices – whether you’ve exceeded your expectations, had a change of heart about what to do next or if the news isn’t what you hoped.”
