Thousands of Year 11 pupils across Leeds are receiving grades to help them progress on to sixth form, college or training.
Exams regulator Ofqual has said it expects this year’s national results to be “broadly similar” to last summer, following years of flux as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
It comes one week after A Level results day, which saw both the proportion of students getting top grades and the overall pass rate rise this year.
Enjoy our joyous gallery of pictures below. Congratulations to you all!
