Students across Worcestershire have received their A-Level results.

Initial figures show that 8.8 per cent of students achieved top grades (two As and a B or higher) in at least two facilitating subjects, which are fields of study often needed for entry into prestigious universities.

They include subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, further maths, geography, history, English literature, and classical or modern languages.

The data was provided voluntarily to Worcestershire County Council from roughly 71 per cent of state-funded schools across the county.

The data points to students’ top three A-Level results averaging at a C+ or above.

This is consistent with the national statistic which shows 76.4 per cent of UK entries secure a grade C or higher.

Councillor David Chambers, the cabinet member with responsibility for education at the county council, said: "These results are a reflection of the hard work and dedication of students across the county during their A-Level studies.

"I would like to take this opportunity to wish our students all the very best for their future, in whatever path they decide to pursue, but also to thank all the teachers and support staff for their time and consistent dedication towards preparing our students."
