The wait is over as students celebrate A-Level results

Initial results point towards 2013 being another year of high achievement for A-Level students across the county.

Early indications are that overall Shropshire’s results are again good and it looks like being a very successful year.

Ann Hartley, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children’s services – transformation and safeguarding, today commended the county’s students.  She said:

“These results are the product of two years of hard work for our students.  We appreciate how much they have to do to attain their results and would like to congratulate them all for their dedication and achievements.

“We would also like to thank everyone who plays a part in our school and college communities across Shropshire.  This includes our hugely-skilled and committed teachers, headteachers and college principals, governors, support staff, people who contribute voluntarily and, of course, parents and carers who provide the support and encouragement necessary to enable the students to do so well.

“We wish all the students receiving their results today every success in the future, whether they are going into higher education, taking some time out or taking up employment.”

Councillor Hartley added that, no matter what the result may be, there was help available for students as they made plans for the future:

“School and college staff will be able to provide advice and information.

“Shropshire Council can then also be contacted for general advice and information regarding what to do if results are different to what was expected, how to go through clearing, student finance, gap years and apprenticeships, via www.shropshireyouth.com or by calling 01743 258850.”
