STUDENTS across Uttlesford are nervously opening envelopes today, to find out how they did in their A-Levels.

With university places up for grabs, many will find out if they got the grades they wanted and will be celebrating or commiserating.

If you didn’t quite get the grades you wanted don’t worry too much, there are still hundreds of options open to you.

Education in our area is run by Essex County Council. Cabinet member for education Stephen Castle said: “I would like to congratulate Essex students on their hard work. There will be many students looking forward to beginning university or continuing their education in other ways.

“There will also be lots of people looking forward to entering the world of work. Whatever their plans, I want to wish them all the very best of luck for the future.

“Essex County Council is dedicated to increasing educational achievement across the county, and ensuring that all children get the education they deserve. We are also committed to building the best education system so that every pupil can go on to fulfil their potential, be it academically or vocationally.

“We have some tremendous schools in Essex, and pupils, teachers and parents all play a big part in Essex’s educational successes. I would like to thank everyone for their hard work.”
