Provisional results from 34 out of 39 schools in the county have indicated that the A Level pass rate in Lincolnshire remains above the national average.
At 98.1%, the Lincolnshire pass rate for A Levels is ahead of the England average by 0.2%.
Over a third of Lincolnshire schools, an increase on last year, achieved more A* grades than the national average.
This was also the same for those achieving A*-A grades.

Councillor Patricia Bradwell, responsible for children’s services at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “A Levels are extremely challenging examinations and represent some of the highest academic standards in the world.
“Success at A Level does not happen by accident. It is only through the hard work of students and teachers, supported by parents and carers, that these fantastic results have been achieved.”
Debbie Barnes, director of children’s services at the county council, added: “Congratulations to all of our students and I wish them all the best for the future.
“Their new qualifications will really help them in their future plans and careers.”

As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
