The provisional Lincolnshire pass rate for A Level entries is 97.8%, which is above the national average.

Three quarters of students achieved three or more A Levels, with one quarter of all entries successful at the highest A* to A grades and half of all grades at A* to B grades.

Eleven schools have increased their percentage of students achieving A* grades.

In 27 out of 31 schools, at least 90% of students achieved one or more A-level at A* to E.

The percentage of Lincolnshire A Level entries securing A*, A*-A, A*-B, A*-C and A*-E is ahead of the East Midlands average in every case.

Debbie Barnes, Director of Children’s Services, added: “Despite the changes to qualifications and new ways of assessing A-levels, our students have continued to achieve well, showing real determination and dedication to reach their goals. Congratulations to all of our students on their results and I wish them all the best for the future.”
