York schools leader hails ‘fantastic’ A level results

Cllr Andrew Waller, York council’s executive member for children, young people and education, has praised the hard work and dedication of A level students across the city.

He said:

I’d like to offer my congratulations to everyone who has received their results today. I have seen the hard work and dedication put in by the young people, their families and teaching staff across the city, which have produced such fantastic results, especially against the backdrop of the disruption to schooling caused by the pandemic.

I hope that these hard-earned qualifications will enable the young people to take the next stage on their skills development journey, whether that’s work, further or higher education, or other opportunities. I wish them the very best of luck on the next stage of their journey.
