York College chief executive and principal Lee Probert said today: “There’s never been a more testing time to be nervously waiting for exam results.

“Our results reflect the high-quality work of a skilled and dedicated staff team, navigating a complex process.

“I am enormously proud of how our staff and students have worked during the period of lockdown. Whilst there is a lot of noise about the process for determining grades, our collective priority is our students and supporting them to achieve their progression ambitions.

“These results are an important milestone in a student’s journey and we’re here to ensure that journey continues in a positive way.”
