The A-level pass rate has risen for the 28th successive year, which casts intensifying pressure on students seeking late university places. More than 150000 EU and UK applicants are expected not to receive a offer.
In total, 97.6% of more than 850000 A-level students were passed, which is up from 97.5% in 2009. Meanwhile, the A* grade, awarded this year for the first time, was granted to 8.% of this year’s A-levels.
More than half of A-level entries from private schools achieved at least the A grade, compared with the 27% national average. However, only14% of A-level entries came from the independent sector.
