A-Level results 2023: Students across Black Country and Staffordshire receiving their grades
Today will be a day of nerves for thousands of students across the region as they get their A-Level results.
The culmination of two years of hard work will bring pupils to schools and colleges in the Black Country, Staffordshire and the Wyre Forest, such as Wolverhampton Grammar School, to pick up their results and see how those dictate their future.
For some, it will be a day to celebrate their exam and coursework success and formally accept their places at university or take up apprenticeships, while others will be taking stock of their results and looking at their options for getting a suitable university course.
This is also the second year that students in England will receive results for the Government’s flagship T-level qualifications, which were launched to provide high-quality technical alternatives to A-levels.
Thousands of students will also receive results for vocational technical qualifications (VTQs) this month.
A-level grades are expected to fall back to pre-pandemic levels in 2023, according to organisations including the Department for Education and Ofqual, although senior examiners will lower grade boundaries in 2023.
