Students across Leeds have been celebrating in recent weeks after A Level and GCSE results day.
It was a triumphant morning for pupils across the city last Thursday (August 20), with figures showing that 21.9% achieved top grades - up from 2025, while the proportion of A-Level entries awarded top grades across the country has risen for the third year in a row.
The Yorkshire Evening Post went down to Leeds Mathematics School and Woodkirk Academy on A Level and GCSE results day respectively to capture the raw emotions of the day.
Hugs, relief, and tears of joy were on show as students opened their envelopes with many bringing their parents along to share in the moment.
Here are 14 of the most heartwarming and joyful pictures from across both days...
