A - Level Results Day In Kent!

Thousands of students across Kent have opened their A-Level results today. Nationally the number of A grades is down for the first time in 20 years but most students we spoke to were smiling!

Listen to students opening their results live for Heart and the thoughts of Steven Moore - Faculty Head for Sciences and Humanities at Canterbury College.

We've had this advice from Medway Council

A student opens their results for HeartThousands of students have today (Thursday, 16 August) received A level results while many more will be ripping open envelopes next week to see how their GCSE exams went.
 
Nearly 5,000 Medway students sat their GCSE and A level exams at the start of the summer. For many students, their results could lead to a place at university, college, training or employment. For pupils whose results may not be as good as hoped, the message is don't panic and take time to assess the situation before doing anything hasty.

Equally, if results are better than expected, students may want to rethink their options.
