A-Level results were released to students across the district this morning. Due to lockdown measures, all students were unable to go into their college or sixth form and instead had to look online.

Today was A-level results day for hundreds of young people in the district, most of whom have received their results online this morning.

Amid the pandemic, the students' exams were cancelled and their grades have been based on teacher expectations, mock exam grades and previous cohorts' results. All were then standardised by government body Ofqual.

Unlike previous years, students weren't able to attend their college or sixth form today and instead found out their grades online.

Apprehension regarding the results was heightened after a U-turn in Scottish exam results. All results that were downgraded through the new system were replaced by the original estimates.

Here you can find out how each centre has performed (more links will be added as results are released):

  • Harrogate Grammar School

  • Harrogate Ladies' College
