A-level results: Top grades hit record high outside of pandemic years
- On August 14, 2025, approximately a quarter of a million students from England, Wales, and Northern Ireland will get their A-level results, with those in England also receiving their T-level outcomes.
- This event follows consistent grading standards since the pandemic, but education leaders warn persistent regional inequalities remain due to socioeconomic factors and Covid-19's legacy.
- Students can access results online from 8am BST, with some collecting them in person while universities advertise course vacancies through Ucas clearing.
- In 2023, 27.8% of A-level entries in the UK received top grades—the highest rate outside the pandemic years—with around 30% achieving this benchmark in 2024, alongside a record-breaking total of over 825,000 entries.
- The results highlight ongoing challenges, prompting government plans to address attainment gaps, especially for white working class students, while social mobility indicators signal urgent action is needed.
